My car's a 94, Daily driven, GT40p headed car. Im building a motor that is going to be done soon... shooting for 450-475rwhp. i do NOT want a drag oriented car.... i wanna build it as an all around performer.

which control arms should i go with?? I was thinking MM heavy duty non-adjustables. opinions??

MM are good control arms. might look on UPR's website, they got rear control arm packages decently priced with different types of bushings and some are adjustable

For a car that sees alot of street time you'll want to stick with poly bushings at least on one end of the control arm. Adjustables are nice because you can set your pinion angle properly. These would be perfect for you: Unlimited Performance Racing Products On-Line - Chrome Moly Adj. Lower Control Arm Kit (79-04)

I have ran the HPM mega bite Jrs.....worked pretty good for still having stock uppers, but they are kind of expensive.

On my current car I have Lakewood Traction action bars, 100 bucks cheaper and I like the design better. Don't have to run the spacers to keep the rear close to the same height as the front.

My car pulled a 1.7 on bfg drag radials on a 95 degree day 90% humidity.....So they work pretty good for 200 bucks. I have basic toxico struts/shocks and springs so no real help from those.

If its not a drap car and you want something streetable, I have read where a lot of adjustable's are wearing out quicker on the street. But the that only as far as you can throw it b/c I have no experience with problems my self.

just to add though . . . you would be better off setting pinion angle with the uppers

i've got UPR non adjustable uppers and lowers. i like them a lot, and they're pretty dang inexpensive for the set
