hello. for the folks that have boxxed there stock control arms, did you notice any difference in the performance of the suspension in all aspects.(traction,cornering) how much is there any other bushing that can be put in the stock control arms that will stiffen things up. which bushings are good for street cars.

I boxed mine in with my handy little mig welder, the only thing I noticed is that there are no more stress cracks from the control arms trying to break free from the car. As for control arm bushings, I say just get some decent aftermarket control arms rather than mess with the stockers, I put in the Maximum Motorsports lowers, much improved traction and they look good.
