Maybe I am wrong, but aren't the control arms supposed to help with higher hp applications? Launching and cornering?

I was thinking of adding these to my ride for better handling...along with the shocks/struts, steeda billet LCAs, springs I already have. I don't race but I love to drive.

I added LCAs after the lower springs, bilsteins, etc.
I noticed a very nice difference.

I'd drive it with the other stuff (springs/dampers/performance alignment/maybe rear bar/maybe G-trac) without the control arms before seeing if I needed them at all. They are removeable/replaceable independently of all the other stuff, so you won't be doing anything twice other than jacking/lifting the car so you can do the work. If you get wheel hop (which is most likely the easiest thing to pick up that's control arm related), you probably do. Otherwise, they aren't "broken" so they don't need "fixing". The OE caster is already about 7°. It's unlikely that you'll need to change that, so just camber plates if you end up needing them to get yourcamber spec.
