Default Which control arms

Just like it says. I bought a pair from one place but they never got shipped so I got my money back on them. I need a good set but I'm not sure which ones would be better.

Summit Racing

I was just told by UPR that I should not go with the ones I have highlighted. They said that any carwith more the 300HP to the rear wheels is going to wear out the bushings way to fast. He suggested going with these, http://www.uprproducts.com/shopping/shopexd.asp?id=1225and these http://www.uprproducts.com/shopping/shopexd.asp?id=1224Now those are alot more expensive and I don't know how to do the adjustments on them. He said I could just leave them at the stock length. I just wanted something I can throw in there and forget about them. I cant afford to spend another $300 to $500 dollars. What should I do. I know my car is going to make more then 300HP at the wheels.

That's exactly what I was thinking, so I called Summit Racing and they said the guy is a moron and is out to sell something more then I need. I guess I'm going with a set of Granatelli control arms.

I hate feeling like a dumbass and then having someone confirm it. Oh well, you live and you learn. This is why you ask questions.
