Default Battle Boxes??

Do i need them for the upper AND lower control arms? I plan on using a Maximum Motorsports Rear Grip Package that comes with the panhard rod and lowers. The uppers aren't included in the package so i will buy them separate. Still don't know if i want the urethane bushing ones or with the sherical ends. Adjustable or Nonadjustable. Trying to do my homework on this subject. Thanks.

if you're pretty tech savy hit up the adj. control arms.

the lowers are more important than the upper tq box reinforcements. but do them both while you're in there.

sphericles are nice if you can afford them. i'm gettin some next time i yank out the rearend.

What are the plans for the car. That may dictate what parts you want to use.

It's taking the place of my 06 as a daily driver. But everything mechanically on the car is being replaced or rebuilt. Since everything is coming apart or out, i don't want regrets later about something i wish i would have done or could have done better. The car won't see much track time. Mainly because it's a convertible and won't have a rollbar. Just mean little street car that's fun to drive.

I have urethane in the rear of mine. IMO, the sphericals will be a lil harsh and noisey for a dd. But that's your call. And unless you have an issue already w/ your torque boxes, I wouldn't bother w/ those either. Again, it's your ride, do w/ it what you will.

From what i understand, it's the weak design and the binding caused by urethane bushings that causes the damage. Like i said, the car won't see the track much but that doesn't mean i won't launch the **** out of it once in a while(i love living out in the country). I don't want to damage them.
