So many different brands so little time. I opted for an economy set for my notchback at a local performance shop. Pro-form upper's and lower's for 179.95. They come fully assembled with grease fittings. Putting them on this weekend.

I spent big money of my Mega Bite Jr's (lowers only) for the Cobra...239.95 three years ago, so I didn't want to do that again. They are the same heavy duty steel, they are just zinc, rather than the Pro-forms which are powder coated. Mega Bites do not have grease fittings so they are noisy, and I had to assemble all the bushings and the adjustable joint that is built in them.

Now for the tech question....

Has anybody used any of the round tubular rear control arms? Better, worse?

Why is lighter better? For overall weight savings?...yes I figure that. Does it improve traction? I would think the heavier duty arms would be better...but I could be wrong.

The proform stuff isn't that bad I thought it was decent stuff...

Yeah, I figured steel is steel. Anything is better than stock...
