Well I am in need of doing some suspension work now that my car has a set of 4.30's in the rear. So I am considering getting some upper and lower control arms. Which brand of control arms should i get? GMS,BBK, Steeda.....ect... please help me guys.

get street drag radial also. suspensions do very little if your tires sucks. The suspensions mods help plant the tire but if the tire crappy (street tires) then they will spin like you are experiencing now

as he said on the street a softer set of tires will make the biggest difference. nitto makes the best dr's to drive on the street however bfg dr's are superior in traction but wear much faster and are just unsafe in the rain. see how they work out for you then tackle the suspension.

MM LCA's, stock UCA's are fine.

I'm putting on the MM LCA's now, not bad of a job.
