Are the summit racing tubular upper and lower control arms worth buying? or should I save and get adjustables? I may lower my car between 1-2" in the future. http://www.summitracing.com/parts/SUM-790000B-W/

if you like to turn, avoid them, go for MM adj. lower arms and leave the stock uppers.

I do like to turn. but i also want a better launch.. is that asking too much ?? like the having your cake saying?

people have cut 1.3x 60' on the MM parts, the MM HD adj. arms work similar to traction bars by changing the geometry to plant the tires on a launch, they hook really hard on both of my cars.

DAMN, that's a great sixty! I was just drooling over the gr40 packages [Frown] now back to reality. so would I realisticaly be able to grab a 1.6 with just mm lowers, a unbolted front sway, and some et streets?

I am running the summit control arms they are decent. But I couldnt pass them up for 100 bucks on summits website. I think when I bought them the black ones where $99 and the red ones where $199. someone in summit screwed up.
