If you go on ebay you can find that blueovalindustries has some u/l control arms for pretty cheap. People on here dont complain about them and im planning on getting some pretty soon too.

Quik why, i would rather have a taller tire than a wider tire, the hight makes more diff than the width. stock is only 25" and that is really short when i stand back and look at my car i think to my self i need some taller tires. i cant find a good street tire that is 26-27inch for a 16 anyway that sucks.

i had that same problem and the mac control arms helped. i've eliminated almost all wheel hop but as far as traction...i'm currently running regular street tires (not a soft compuond tire) 265/50/15 and they don't hook for nothing. get some drag radials...that's my next step!

Taller tires help because one turn of the axle willt urn the tire once, and if the tire is taller there is more surface area on it. As long as that surface area all grabs, the taller tire will move farther with one rotation of the axle. It will give you higher MPH trap speeds. If you run a taller tire with steeper gears, liek 4.10s, you will be sacraficing less trap speed than you would with a shorter tire. Make sense?
