Default control arm upgrade

looking for a rear control arm upgrade, any thoughts on best bang for the buck, does a professional need to set the adjustable? benefits of adj. over fixed?

Adjustables make a lot of noise, non-adjustables are quiet. Mine go on tomorrow morning, here is what I got:

Scrming has BMR's and likes them alot, but if you ask him he will tell you to go with the fixed arms. I will be putting up a post tomorrow after I have a chance to do some hard launches with it.

No problem. My shop says you can't go wrong with BMR's or Steeda. I will post tomorrow for sure.

Hi Rygenstormlocke.

Excuse my ignorance, how good an improvement would these arms do? and why? What type of driving condition do you need to feel it?
Thanks

Makes the ride harsher, but reduces wheel hop so you get a stronger take off. Its a must have if you plan on doing track racing.
