Keep the UCA's stock, don't switch them to a drag setup or you'll loose ALOT of driveability in NORMAL turning.

I have Steeda upper and lower control arms...They are simply awesome!! I would suggest getting adjustable lower control arms first as its very simple to install. I dont know why someone would say it wouldnt be streetable?? I wouldnt go with Drag only UCA/LCAs as the bushings are probably solid and wont flex much.

The only ones you would want to upgrade to would be FRPP Uppers. Poly bushings on UCA's can create bind in hard cornering. More info at www.maximummotorsports.com

I've got MAC UCA's and LCA's. My car is defintely still driveable/streetable. I hardly noticed a different in ride quality. Definetely helped alot with launching (at least on the street) I have yet to test my car out at the track since I've got any of my suspension work done. Like they said about drag LCA's dont go for those.

Steeda LCAs here - and happy with em. Most companies now have 3 piece bushings, with softer outer pieces and a hard center core - this gives you the best of both worlds. Maximum Motorsport, Steeda or UPR would be my choices, and I too would only do the lowers.

Steeda U & L aluminum fixed. Great on a daily rider and at the track.I'm using them with Nitto's DR's. Wheel hop has been reduced substantially.
