my new control arms suck
bought a set of tubular U/L control arms off 50resto a while ago (the cheap ones).
finally installed them this past weekend and there is little to no traction improvement.
car still wheel hops like crazy and rides like crap.
would not recommend them to anyone.

Could be the pinion angle. The LCAs just eliminate some of the flex.

i'm running modified stockers on mine with Nitto drag radials, no wheel hop whatsoever. Car grabs when I want, car lights 'em up when i want.
