Are all upper control arms created equal? I am reading about and trying to compare different offerings from different companies and they all read the same but have huge differences in prices. I have billet LCA from BMR with the relocation brackets and have plans on dropping my car about 1" in the future. Any suggestions would be great, also does anyone have the Steeda torque boxes or 3point frame braces (I forget what they call them)?

Why wouldn't you just stick with the BMR stuff?

If you have BMR lowers, I would say go with BMR upper. I have a BMR adjustable ready to go in. It's definitely a nice looking piece.

Shouldn't really matter. Unless you want to go with one thats rod-ended they will all be basically the same. Like the others, I would suggest sticking with one company.

Honestly, whenever I get around to the upper control arm I'm going to replace it with a Griggs torque arm. The 3 link works well, but that upper is just too short for proper geometry. It's way more expensive, so I wouldn't suggest it unless you plan on some fairly serious track time.
