I bought the UPR U/L chromemoly control arms. I haven't installed them yet, but they seem to be really good quality. I got them from Art's performance for 193 shipped...

the upr spring pearch on the lower control arm seem's small when I installed them on my stang. and yes adjustable shock are the way to go if your going dd and some track time. couple turns and you set the shocks the way you want. soft for drag, more stiff for street. lol

The ones I posted, that's it. That's why I'm thinkin about some adjustables. I wanna dial in my pinion angle!

5.0stanger, how do you like the lowers. I was lookin at those actually. Are they noisey at all b/c of the ball mount in the front?
I haven't got to drive it yet with them(winter) I figure the adjustablity is worth any noise...but I can't imagine there will be any. I also put in torque box reinforcement with those because of the solid mount.

That is a good price for the whole kit, but those subframes don't look all that nice. I know the ones I got
had a bend in them and the ends were capped andwelded up. Those just don't look to be the nicest.
I think I would get different subframes.

I'd go with a tubular design from BMR or MM for your upper and lower ca's. If you're looking for an ok cheap setup then that ebay kit would work minus those sub connectors.
