Well after suspecting that my upper and lower control arms have been going bad I finailly got the car up in the air to take a in depth look. I replaced the lowers with some stock untils from bunchmyfunky's car a few weeks ago in hope that it would solve my problems. It didn't. My stock arms had deffinately seen better days, but they didn't seem too bad. Today I pulled the uppers and they are F*#%! To many 4k + launchs on the stock bushings I guess [burnout]

I'm looking into getting the Steeda adjustable uppers and running the new stock lowers I have for a little while longer. Anyone have any input on the Steeda arms?

With suspension, stick to one brand... why not start out with the wolfe upper and get their LCA's, sway bar, ect in due time?

Who knows, maybe your worn uppers are why you 60ft so good? Less bind.

Got a web site where I can look at the Wolf stuff? Isn't that the brand that John runs?

Yeah, John runs it..... but if I were you, I'd find a free set of stock upper and be happy for 80,000 more miles [Smile] Your car 60 foots great as-is.

Ditto!!!!!
If you can hit a 1.68 w/ the stockers just find some at the yard and maybe box 'em.
