Default Broke Lower Control Arm..

Just a heads up for anyone that drag races..My experience last night at the strip didnt turn out very good. On my 2nd pass launching lightly at 2500rpm car took off great but when I hit 2nd gear I nearly bought another car beside me from going in his lane...DO NOT BUY WEIGHT JACKER LOWER CONTROL ARMS...Hate bashing any brand but do not buy Granetelli control arms because they cost me a lot of money in repairs..

There have been amusing discussions about GMS for years. I was so amused by these discussions that I only use Maximum Motorsports parts.

You get what you pay for.
