auborn pro carrier with 3.73's
TKO tranny

aluminum DS
50/50 Lake wood shocks
helwig front and rear sway bars

The welding on the J&M LCA leaves something to be desired. They use a small weld at each end of the swaybar tab. One side snapped off after a couple of years of street use on my old coupe. The MM units have a larger tab that is welded to the tube all the way around. Small details like this are what separates MM parts from others.

Good? you mean Excellent....team Z and Baseline sell similiar upper control arms to change the instant center of the vehicle... wolfe and team z sell similiar anti roll bars and baseline has theres where its mounts to the floor pan not the frame rails.....since im pretty sure your making a street car stick with maximum motorsports....

I had the non adjustable height ones. The design is just like MM with the bushing in front and the bearing on the axle side.
