Default Control Arms

I posted this over on v6p, but they take forever to answer, so figured I'd post here too, any of the suspension guys think these would be ok or should I get something a little better?


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...

For DD use I would think they'll be find. Not a bad idea to look at MM's or slightly better ones for another bill or so more.

That's what I was thinking... I just found some nice lookin UPRs for $220, the car almost never sees the track but I don't want cheap stuff, ya know?

I don't like UPR's front suspension components, I prefer QA1, other than the struts. I've put in a UPR and a QA1 k-member and I just didn't like the UPR, it just seemed like a cheap knockoff. I'm also about to install a PA Racing k-member in another car, and it actually look pretty nice. UPR's rear suspension stuff is supposed to be awesome though
