the lower control arms are what you want to replace for better straight line traction, the uppers for cornering ability (generally). What do you mean by battle boxes? And the motorsport springs are fairly popular, what type of spring and the drop your looking for has more to do with them than the name brand.

the battle boxes go behind your control arms.

So the battle boxes are just a name brand for torque box reinforcements... Ok then never heard of them. Who makes them?</P>
