rear control arms
ok, besides adjustable control arms. are all the brands basically the same? or are there good enough differances in them that its worth going w. one brand over another?
im just talking about solid, non adjustable control arms.

RE: rear control arms
i noticed a difference in the quality of the rod ends between my granatelli lowers, and a set of MM's
but i assume if your looking for non adjustables that you want urethane on both ends, so i dont think thats something to worry about

RE: rear control arms
yea im gonna do my suspension relativly soon and dont really need all the adjustablilty of adjustables. its a DD, but does see the track alot.
plans were...
eibach drag springs
70/30s and 50/50s
and some kinda control arms.
yea i just want solids, not adjustables, i dont think i really need them. i just want something good enough where i can get rid of these damn quad shocks and not worry about wheel hop. but whats differant about n e brands? they all seem the same to me. is it worth spending the money on a name brand, or am i ok going w. 50resto s generic ones, or summits?

Although b/c what I am doing w/ the car now, I may be looking at getting some adjustables.

RE: rear control arms
I would guessbudget C/Awould be fine...the only thing that I would be worried about is replacing the bushings if they go bad.....but I guess just buy another set. With solid C/A, I would just go with the budget ones.
BTW, what is Team MF member #302 under you name?
