A 60' that drops .7 should equal WAY more that .15 in the 1/4 mile

Not so much noisy as to a little increase in road feel. You will feel more of the bumps in the road.
I have Maximum Motorsports and they are a little more harder on the streets. But damn the car
launches mucher better no more wheel hop.

i got upper and lower and i love them when you first put them on its real stiff in the back and no wheel hop but you get used to it. O yeah you'll notice them in taking sharp turns.

I would recommend doing the upper control arms as they will bind up and could cause damage to the torque boxes. Instead if you plan on
road racing go for the torque arm panhard setup converting your stock 4 link to a 3-link setup. This will eliminate the need for the upper
arms you can delete them.

alot of road racers dont use hard bushings in their uppers, or they use stock uppers

Are upper and lower control arms something I could install myself? Or would I need to take my car in somewhere.
