Control Arms

How much would they help my 1/4 times? How much does a good set cost?

RE: Control Arms

a tenth or so in the quarter, but results vary. I'm happy with my eBay brand for $160 - came with boxed upper and lowers

RE: Control Arms

there are a lot of variables. one major variable is hp. the more you have, the more the control arms will help.....assuming you have traction problems

RE: Control Arms

I think torque has more to do with how much control arms help. I got Granatelli upper/lower CA's and they shaved 2 tenths off my 60'. I think with better driving, more of a difference will be noticed.

RE: Control Arms

ya i was going to say, a tenth of the quarter seems like a low estimate

mega bite jr's are advertised as being able to shave UP TO .3 seconds off your 60'!

RE: Control Arms

this is the cheapest ive seen http://www.motorsport-depot.com/xcar...ang_50_46.html

the mega bites change the geometry of the rear suspension and thats why they are more effective

RE: Control Arms

is it ok to go with aluminum control arms? i havent heard that much about the aluminum ones but i know they are stronger than stock and will save weight.
