C'mon MOB, you cannot keep using the "My dog ate my homework" thing.
Here, I looked it up for you:

UPR is definitely a better option than chinese stuff. UPR's control arms work really well and they're very durable. Our arms are tubular chrome-moly, tig-welded, with Energy Suspension polyurethane bushings. They are Made in America and they carry a Lifetime Guarantee.
With the stangnet.com discount, they only cost $179 for the set of four:

I could try to work out a deal on just the lowers if that's what you want, but the way our pricing is structured, the full set of control arms is basically "buy the lowers, get the uppers free". (ten dollar difference)
I heard last time at the track that a guy adjusted his pinion angle and picked up .2 in the 1/4. Said -7* is best. Is this true?
This is an area I would not skimp. My entire suspension is Steeda. A buddy of mine with the same car bought the cheapy upper / lower set for like $249 (it's a known brand). We did 2 AutoX events and he had to flatbed his car home. Cracked left side upper and sheared off the weld at the ball joining the lower. Rear wheel was jammed inside the wheel well. Had to drag the car up on the flatbed, what a mess.
DO NOT SKIMP ON CONTROL ARMS!

Sounds good man. Drop me a PM when you're ready and I'll send you the discount code.
Also, Rick is right. If you have the extra dough, go with the adjustables. They're not necessary, but it's nice to have the option to adjust if you want. Also, -3° is a good starting point with poly bushings all the way around.
Exactly. MAC after inspection of the upper / lower control arms, the welds failed. They did a credit on the arms, labor and towing. Going cheap on the upper / lower control arms turned into an expensive outing.
