I've got metco upper and lower 15+ years street duty.Metco still sells there billet arms for $300ish I think if you don't need the weight jacker design, not sure if they every updated to the 3pc ball style bushings though. Still remember when GMS ripped that off and windowed the design lol.
Me, give me some Dom tubing and decent heim joints, rest I can burn my self. Majority of the adjustment I would want is in the mounting points on the chassis and axle housing, but then again most of my cars still have skinnes and no sway bar so corner carving isn't my thing.
On topic, obviously I'm a fan of maximum motorsports. The adjustable type really isn't necessary.
That team z set of uppers looks like a weaker copy of the steeda version, which at least has half the top boxed for strength. I never liked the open top version.
I'm not really against the adjustables, i also think they are way better with a bushing like the ones you have.I needed the adjustable to get the pinion angle right, which helped with the vibration issue I had. That's why I pulled out the non-adjustable BBK Gripps on the car for the Team-Zs. I think it's a moot point on strength. Never heard of any of these breaking.
Yes you did, they do not have the provision for sway bar, I still have them in the box.Didn't I send you my old Steeda lowers with 3 piece bushings?

I ran a version of them with heims only on the body side and that would be a firm hell no a second time.
Before I had the torque arm I ran motorsport uppers as my last set, I would do that again.
You better look again. There is a 100% chance i ran a sway bar. Along with 2 sets of different strength new 3 piece bushings.Yes you did, they do not have the provision for sway bar, I still have them in the box.
If anyone is going to tear them up, it's me. I'm autocrossing the car and just got the R-compound tires to do it on. My feel is that unless you're reinforced, they are thick enough to tear up the chassis. I get, from a structural engineering point of view, that a box end is better, but pragmatically, these aren't bending from driving forces.I'm not really against the adjustables, i also think they are way better with a bushing like the ones you have.
But the side to side movement can spread them (not break) when there is no plate on top when the car isn't only used for drag racing.
The steeda ones have been around forever and my guess is that not everyone beats their car around bends and it could really be a non issue, but i'd still pay the $50 more for the ones with the plate on the top.
With that said, with a $500 budget, it's not where i would put the money unless necessary.
He didn't say either yet whether or not he has sub frame connectors and is the horsepower 325 at the wheels?
I went through all of my receipts looking for the actual price and could not find it...That was a great price.... they're $550/pair now!
i dont have subframe connectors yet, i was going to buy those and torque box reinforcements at the same time as control arms, and it its 325, at the wheelsI'm not really against the adjustables, i also think they are way better with a bushing like the ones you have.

Aren't they all?I went through all of my receipts looking for the actual price and could not find it...
I will say that looking at all of the invoices kinda scared me... Out of control project here, and its nothing special at all..... LOL..
