    control arm?

    planning on doing some suspension work this spring/summer, planning on eibach pro kit springs, prob some tokico shocks/struts, eibach sway bar kit, but I'm stuck on control arms.

    a lil background, The car is going to be street/ car show/ weekend cruiser, not worried about launching at a drag strip or anything like that, just looking to improve handling on the road.

    deff planning on doing both front and rear(upper and lower), just dont know if tubular or boxed would be better, or what brands etc.

    all info is appreciated

    Thanks, Mike

    Maximum Motorsports doesn't manufacture an upper control arm. They prefer you go with a torque-arm/panhard bar combination which eliminates the upper control arms completely.

    Check out the tech tips section of their website for more details.

    I dont know how much you wanna spend but over on the corral class. there's a couple guys selling upper+lower combo's very reasonable.
