I highly recommend the Maximum Motorsports units. The are very good quality and have a unique bushings that won't damage the
torque boxes like other brands.

Polyurethane on the chassis side and a spherical bearing bushing on the axle side.
They are great control arms from Maximum Motorsports very good quality a lot better
than the stock stamped steel ones.

yeap, im steedas look good also, they are just much more expensive than the MM ones. my lower arms have polyurethane bushings and the uppers have stiff rubber bushings to prevent torque box damage. polyuethane up on the uppers will cause torque box damage so just make sure no polyurethane up there unless you strenthen the torque box with some reienforcement plates.
