[QUOTE="SVT_Troy, post: 12587450, member: 124907"] The standard MM control arms not tubular. MM's OEM style control arms are supposed to be an updated design and i only recommend them because you mention replacing ball joints and bushings so why not upgrade them. Once you start lowering your car it tends to mess with the suspensions geometry. For what you said you want to do with your car, I would just do maintenance. Bringing everything back to life on top of lowering it with HR race springs and the right iso combo until you reach your desired look. Get a set of MM caster/camber plates then go from there. Alot of people get bumpsteer kits without needing them. To fix your suspension after lowering it you [B]MIGHT[/B] (notice i said might not will!) end up needing short swaybar endlinks (about $25), MM bumpsteer ($150) and steeda X2 balljoints (i hear mixed reviews about them and not to sure.) Once your done lowering it is when you'll get your bumsteer check, check the angle of the swaybar and suspension to determine if you need, shorter swaybar endlinks, X2 balljoints and a bumsteer kit. Theres so much to learn about suspension it's crazy and i am by no far a professional. I've been reading alot and learning. Mostly on corner carvers, a good race car never makes a good street car and vise versus. I'm trying to build my car to be a decent all around car. Dont know how I forgot but a good pair of Full length subframe connectors is a must.... If you had this stuff first youll be itching to add power to test the new found traction! [/QUOTE]
