Default Control Arms!!! (Answers ASAP would be lovely)

Alright guys... looking at getting some control arms. I found a pretty good looking deal for some UPR Pro Series adjustable lowers for $143 shipped and only have 800 miles on them. They are supposidly really strong, this guy had a 500+ rwhp Mach.

Thoughts???

Also.. what about some uppers? They too have about 800 miles on them and are the UPR Pro Series double adjustables and he'd sell those for $120.OR! He would sell both the uppers and lowers for $260 shipped. What do you all think?

Help a Macher out!!!!!
I'd hate for this to be a sick deal that I miss out on, as usual.

www.bmrfabrication.com Ive used their double adjustable uppers/lowers on 2 stangs with great results...with the poly bushings. I cant comment on anything else, but max motorsports or steeda would be my other choices.

I was told that I only really need adjustable lowers isif I were serious about drag racing, which I won't be for a good while.

Thoughts?

I was suggested to get those UPR uppers that are double adjustable and then get some non adjustable lowers.

steeda IMo would be better, thats what they've focused on is suspension, but if you can afford it maximum Motorsports is the best on the market.

I would love some MM control arms but I just can't afford them lol and plus I think for my purpose, they wouldn't be completely neccessary. Since I haven't even taken her to the track yet I think having something like Steeda would get the job done.
