I'm looking around for some new upper and lower rear control arms. I'm thinking probably adjustable uppers and non-adjustable lowers. I'll be using M/T drag radials with a T5, and I don't mind a little extra noise if it's in the name of a better 60 ft. What brands do you guys have luck with? Thanks in advance.

Yeah, I have subframe connectors. Are torque box reinforcements necessary on a street car with a 1.60s or slower 60 ft. time and drag radials?

1.6 is a damn hard launch! Yes, you should have them done

Good to know. Are those $25 plates available in Summit sufficient enough to strenghten the torque boxes? Or perhaps I can just make my own easily enough........

Those are good, there are some on ebay and someone on here makes good reinforcments. I think they are called battle boxes or something..?

For me, any aftermarket rear lower control arm is better than stock. Mega bite ones seem to be pretty popular on here though.
