you will notice a huge difference with u/l control arms. I have a set of MAC control arms on my car and they are great. Also another good set if the tubed control arms on ebay i think they are $135. They are the same as the Summit control arms and they are good quality too

I bought the ones your talking about and i have not put them on yet. I know that in my old stang i did arms and i noticed a difference. I would say its mainly the poly bushings that make the differance
