I am thinking about getting some control arms from X2Cmotorsports for 149 i believe. Anyway have any experience with these? What kind of improvement am i gonna be looking to get?

I am ordering my Pro 5.0 shifter tomorrow, my 255lph fuel pump should be here this week, and i will probably install my Zex kit this weekend. I was jjust thinking about what else to get (thats not too expensive) to help out with speed/traction.

I will probably order a shift light also....any tips/advise on that?

THANKS

Not sure on the product. I got Global West LCA and love em. You should notice a huge difference in launching the vehicle.

I would say if you can spend another $100.00 on LCA, get these http://maximummotorsports.com/rlca.asp

i got mine from steeda. i have a hard time going to certain places for items. i know steeda's quality so i went there. I have uppers and lowers that are adjustable. I spent the extra money, but i looooovve them. my launches are harder. easy and fun to put in too.

I have the $149 boxer st x2c control arms and they are extreamly nice for the price. I think I paid 163 shipped for all four arms.. the welds are perfect. the powder coating looks great just like the pictures they posted on the corral, and they come with energy suspension bushings. I put them on my 92 to stiffen things up a bit and have no complaints whats so ever for the price.

I side swiped a concrete barrier last summer after hydroplaning in 6" of water, I'm slowly replacing things. I noticed when I get on the throttle the whole back of the car will swing sideways like the control arms are bent. I also have no swaybar on right now (I didn't before I wrecked either, but it didn't tweak out like this). Will new control arms fix this? Or do I have some other problem back there?

I ordered mine last week and I'll have 'em on Wednesday I think. Apparently they're really good quality for what you pay for. Lots of good feedback I heard.

I'm interested in these too, I wonder why they're so cheap compared to other control arms? You can get four for the price of two.
