If you got enough why not go to an IRS setup?

The main reason I'm replacing my control arms is because all my bushings are basically shot, i noticed it when the 8.8 went in but they are actually affecting the ride quality now...

these are on my cobra right now and they made the ride ten times worse! they are absolute garbage!!!
im switching them out for stock uppers and mm lowers im told this is a good setup for street use

NEVER buy anything with the Granatelli name on it, it's ALL cheap knockoff crap

I just put relocation brackets with UPR lower control arms and a track bar. It rattles like crazy. I take mine to the track all the time and needed better traction, especially since I just put nitrous on it. It is also my daily driver though and I am not sure if I am going to be able to stand the rattling. There aren't rubber bushings in them at all.
