Well there's 2 factors in control arms:

1. Build Quality/Durability

2. Intended Use



Griggs makes the best race parts bar none, but they are not really intended for street use.

MM does have the best of both worlds, they are not better than Griggs but they will last longer, and perform right underneath Griggs'


Under most of the others, 'Intended Use' is out of the question, they create more trouble in your setup than 'relieve'



I'll be back on later to finish

I forgot about Griggs. probably because they deal more with roadracing and I am a dragracer.

I have used both MM and J&M/Pro3 control arms and the quality and finish is the same. I think the J&M arms have a better bushing design with there patent pending 3 piece poly-ball setup. I am currently running the J&M street/race weight jack version which has the spherical bearing on the axle and 3 piece poly on the chassis side and I have not had any increase in NVH if that is a concern.

The wall is a bit thicker on the J&M's
