Lets Talk About My Control Arm Choices.....

So i am gonna be getting some lower control arms very soon...but i have been having trouble deciding what i want. I Know i want maximum motorsports FTW....But i cant decide, Street or Race Adjustable?

do you guys think think its worth it to pay more for the Adjustable Rear Lowers? Do you think it will be worth it compared to the Non-Adjustabe Lowers?

also, Since MM adjustable are expensive i thought that maybe Stang Suspention had nice arms...what do you guys think about these?

Stang Suspension Adjustable Lowers

http://www.stangsuspension.com/store/comersus_viewitem.asp?idproduct=515

So what do you guys think...which do you think i should go with?...The Stang Suspension arms are $100 less than MM....or do you guys think i should get standard non-adjustable arms.

opinion?

You do alot of auto-x right?

I'd say get the adjustable then and get whatever bran you want to pay for. I know everyone will say MM though.

You don't need the adjustable version. The purpose for those was to be able to raise the rear for slicks/drag radials, and then be able to lower it back down when you left the track.

IMO, get the regular, non adjustable version with the spherical bearing and poly bearing. You don't need more than that.

Also, if you look at the stangsuspension version, it's a weak design. The hub for the adjustable screw is welded in between two sections of the arms, while the MM unit is a one piece design with the hub welded inside the tubing of the arm.

That stangsuspension unit looks like a Granatelli arm
