Rear Control Arms

[nightrider50]

Hey guys what are the best rear control arms out there? (for drag racing)

I dont think there is a set that has been dubbed the "Best out there" yet, personal preference. Im sure youll get 15 different recommendations. I use UPR solid Adjustable.

I second that. I think it all depends on what you're wanting from your drag setup (i.e. adjustability, less chassis flex, etc.)

yea i just want everyones opinions. im looking for adjustable arms that will lower my 60ft times cuz they suck.

U should be more specific on what type of driving the car will see, would u want to use an anit roll bar?

Its my daily driver but i dont plan on taking corners too fast so handling isnt very important. im starting to go to the track every week so i want some control arms that will give me good launches and are adjustable so i can fine tune them.

Well heres a few ideas. I'd personally go with MM. I've seen and heard great things about them and there products. Same with Steeda but i'll stick with MM products.

I'm using HPM Megabite upper's and lowers. Made a huge difference over stock, both in the straights and in corners, the rear end actually feels like it is attached to the rest of the car.

I used to use the HPM Mega jrs. I found them to make the car too touchy in city turning. I didn't notice a 60' time drop either. I switched to MM's standard RLCAs and the touchy feeling went away. I haven't had the car on a set of Mickey's to check the 60' times, but I'm sure they're similar.

I think the key to an improved 60' time is weight transfer. With your LCA purchase, I'd suggest a set of adjustable shocks and struts to start with. They don't have to be 50/50s or 90/10s. A set of Tokico Illuminas would do alright. If you're going to just drag race the car and drive it on the street, check out MM's Street/Strip Box. You could either get that kit or the parts you need from that kit. You don't even have to use a torque arm, as their higher-end kits point to.
