I need advice on control arms.

Hello gentlemen. I need to get lower control arms immedietally becuase I am tearing the crap outa my new frpp aluminum driveshaft. I am gonna buy some pro3i units becuase I am a poor bastard college student and I cant affor any at the moment, so the credit card debt goes up into the never return zone. lol Anyway my question is, Do I need to get the weight jacker lowers? I am getting the street/race version so it will be the same bearing/bushing configuration. Eventually my car is going to be a mean ass street machine that I will autox on the weekends. I am really not into the drag strip so I dont care which ones will help me in the straight line. I am planning on going with coil over rear in the next year or so depending on money. My thinking is the weight jackers become redundant once the coilovers are installed. Am I way off or can I save myself the 90 bucks now? thanks for the help


Sorry for the post but I am kinda pissed off at the moment

You don't NEED adjustable spring perches, although they are nice to have. If you are really going to convert to a coil-over system, then you might want different control arms at that time, anyhow.

Just curious, but how in the world are you damaging your driveshaft and what does it have to do with your control arms?

Why would I need dif control arms when converting to coil over? Are u speaking soleley for weight savings?

I am damaging my driveshaft I think because my lca bushings are shot and its allowing the axle to wind up, therefore raising the driveshaft which makes it hit the transmission tunnel.
