A friend of mine got the adjustable Granatelli lowers and couldn't run his rear sway bar for some reason. If you do get Granatelli's i would reccomend the non-adjustable version. I went with the MM adj. lowers and have had no problems what so ever.

I have seen pics of Granatelli arms that have come apart, google can open the door to some eye-opening photos of ker-ploded GMS stuff. Granatelli takes MM stuff and knocks it off overseas.

Global West would be my choice from your list.

For the most part theyll all work, unless youre running 1000hp i wouldnt worry too much about it. For the record I relly like the UPR c/a's they run a pretty good inexpensive line of suspension parts. Ive got pro series lowers and thier coilover kit in the rear and I was surprised by the quality.
