ok did a search and really didnt find what i was looking for. want to replace the stock upper and lower control arms. car is 80% street 20% track. was looking at the upr pieces since they look good and are well priced but wanted something that has grease fittings so I can lube when it starts to squeek, hate squeeks.

anyways what is a good affordable brand. dont get me wrong I dont want to cheap out and get some crappy ones that suck, but also dont want to drop a ton of money on something over priced because of the name on the side.

Maximum Motorsports recommends the FRPP uppers.

FRPP uppers, maximum motorsports extreme duty or heavy duty lowers. I'm waiting for mine to come, best lowers IMHO!

I have had good luck with Mac upper and lowers. They arent loud and still ride nice.

I think the square is stronger. There is a pic of some guy on here with a tubular style LCA that he broke. Now...I don't know details, like E/T, 60ft time, or tires, but maybe somebody else does.

I spent like 250+ on my MEGA BITE JR LCA's.

I spent 179 on my Pro-Form (off brand) UCA's AND LCA's.

Both have been great....(different cars) I actually like cheap ones better. They have grease fittings, where the big expensive HPM Mega Bites don't. I kicked myself on that one.
