    What upper/lower control arms do you like?

    I have a chance to get a set of southside upper/lowers for $130 but the only car ive seen launch w/ them looked really funny. The rear rose as much as the front did. I like the HPM stuff but the price tag is too high for me right now. What do you have or seen that you really like?

    fiberglass hatch,can you use lift supports?

    if you spend the cash to lose the weight why negate that by keeping the decently heavy struts? I guess it may not look the best but id rig something up that looks decent and is light.
