is there someone who can tell me if they make good control arms?
i know, a lot of you install MM control arms, but i just want to know,
for just $149(upper and lower) can i go wrong?

You're right - most will chime in supporting MM, and I do too. I have the SFC and they're made really well.

I haven't read anything on granatelli CA's, but that price is really low compared to Steeda or MM. I wonder if the quality will even be close?

*EDIT*
There's a recent thread on granatelli's plennum - I'd IM the guy and see how he likes the quality... although I'd invest more money in UCA's / LCA's than a plennum

congrads.

don't forget to grease up the bushings, if you don't get install instructions you can find them on the MM website here http://www.maximummotorsports.com/instructions-asp.asp

you can install them now. when you do get the UCA's you wont really feel a difference when they are installed. make sure you get the steeda UCA's that look like the stock Ford ones, no adjustables
