contorl arms will help a bit but it still comes down to crappy street tires, the steeda's are great if u have the money, if not summitracing has a set of uppers and lowers for 250$ W/polyurethane bushings

Click to expand...

i have the steeda aluminum uca/lca's....they feel like my rear is planting harder. I haven't had a chance to go to the track with sticky tires to really see. Like said above they are not cheap. Depends on your budget, but a easy install of a quality made product.

I got steeda's and i like them a lot. However, Griggs and Maximum Motorsports also make great products.

Just get Maximum Motorsports LCA's, The Stock UCA's are fine.

I also would recommend a softer Rear spring.

You could also go with the FRPP UCA's. A little stiffer bushings than stock but not quite as stiff as the poly so that they don't bind on hard corners. If I remember correctly they're only $59 on gefracing

Steeda would be a great choice for control arms

I have Maximum motorsports solid drag race lower control arms and UPR double adjustable uppers. They are both of fine quality and they've really helped to anchor the rear of my car. I've heard both good and bad things about Steeda, but no personal experience with their suspension products. Another good company I hear positive feed-back on is Metco. Rather expensive, but definately high quality parts. If you haven't invested in a set of sub-frame connectors(and I'm going to guess you haven't, judging from whats listed in your signature), then now is the time to invest in some. They will help to stiffen the chasis and keep it from bending and twisting in turns and in hard launches. Also, as mentioned above some sticky tires would be a good investment.
