mega-bite, jr rear lower control arms and some Adjustable mega-bite rear upper control arms are they good for street/strip and may be an autocross or two...it is a daily driver

Anything is better than stock, BUT those lowers and uppers will create bind and will cause torque box damage...If you do any auto cross then I'd recommend Some LCA's with sperical bearings at one end....
My advise is to get your stock torque boxes welded if you plan on doing any kind of racing...
Good luck!

i disagree, i think those are the best out there.
this is still a dual purpose (tri-purpose for that matter) car.

You're joking right? You pick parts designed with that purpose in mind. Mega-bite Jr's and auto-x is a bad mix.
Save your $. Buy a set of FMS heavy-duty uppers, box them up. Take the lowers out and put good poly bushings in them. All that money you just saved..take it and buy some real swaybars if you wanna auto-x..and have a great streetcar.
