Control Arms [Topic Split]
I was wondering what company's have addressed the bolt change for 99-up and of those who makes the good stuff.
Its a smaller pond to fish from since many company's haven't bothered with the necessary adjustments. My car will be a street/strip car.

Re: Control Arms [Topic Split]
I personally recommend either:
Maximum Motorsports -or- Pro3i Street Arms Both have made the adjustments. The Pro3i units are a knockoff of the MM arms made by the former supplier of MM. I have a set of "race" arms from Pro3i and they look exactly identical to a set of MM's. The only problems I had with mine where noise (spherical bushing on the body side) and I tore the swaybar mounting ear off of the passenger side (probably due to my driving). Pro3i replaced my set of LCA's with a brand new pair that has an updated mounting ear for the swaybar. To bad I don't run a rear swaybar now. Brian and Lee really like the Factory Five Racing LCA's which would be my second choice.

On the uppers, some of the other drag racers can chime in with their recommendation on a set of UCA's. I do know that you'll want a solid bushing design and stay away from polyurethane bushings in the upper control arms. The poly can cause a snap oversteer in cornering situations.
