Hey all,

I am going to be purchasing some upper/lower control arms probably within the next week. I see a lot of prices that have significant differences. I am not hardcore or the type that has to have the best of everything but I would like a good product.

Anyone get a decent pair for a lower end price than what I am seeing and had good results? If so post em here so I can get an idea.

Thanks!!

I bought D&D motorsports upper and lower control arms for my 88LX and payed about $190 for the set. If you have any kind of serious horse power plan on doing the torque boxes as well. I had to not long after putting mine in.

I grabbed some MM lowers and FMS uppers. I replaced the bushing on the rear-end also. I was a nice upgrade. My stock upper control arm bushings where shot.

looking at getting a panhard bar next.

Get some subframes if you dont already have them.

MM lowers and FMS uppers

same combo here, the Maximum Motorsports lowers made a huge difference in traction on the street and how the car launches, they look good too.
