Are new lower or upper control arms best for drag racing and improving 60 ft times?

Thanks!

Sorry, i dont quite understand the question. Are you asking which one is best to get, upper control arms, or lower control arms? If so, i think lower control arms would make the most difference. Good to have both though.

I would say some drag radials if your talking about the street and slicks for the track. I put on HPM Megabite Jr's which are lowers and it made a big difference. I also threw on a Spec clutch which just fried the tires because it engauges so hard so I think I'll have to do more myself.

a good set of upper and lower arms, and drag slicks/radials will do more for your timeslip than any engine bolt on shy of heads/intake/cam upgrade.
