Default Granatelli control arm kits...opinions?

Hi all...I tried searching but I had no luck, I got the usual "either no results or too broad a subject" when I searched.

Anyway, does anybody know of Granatelli? I've been told by a few members that they make good stuff. Their prices can't be beaten either. I'm considering ordering this kit:

put "cool blue performance" without spaces in the ****. The site edits it out for some reason, I guess it thinks I'm trying to advertise. Thanks all!

Granetellis stuff is pretty good. As long as you aren't launch hard on slicks those polyurathane bushings won't crack and fall apart. I'd say get them.

I'm planning on launching hard on MT drag radials. Would that be the same?

my Granaatelli's are wreaking havoc on my lower torque boxes... so I need to get them fixed before race season starts

and dont buy from cool blue, they suck

get them from summit and have them pricematch the cool blue price.

I bought a set of mufflers from cool blue and they didnt tell me that they were backordered.. I ended up having to call MAC directly to find out

They should hold up but you might have to order replacement bushings come the end of track season.

Brady every wednesday I'm going to be making the trip to cecil county dragstrip when it opens andthen somesundays to either mason dixon or capitol. Are you going to be able to come?
