What is the best BANG for the buck on lower control arms for a daily driver with semi-modifications, 410 gears and tune with mass air up dates? I have looked at tubular systems and CNC manufactured units. I am experiencing some wheel hop with the stock configuration and was wondering which is the best way to go with the cost and performance of aftermarket modifications?

Personally, I have to agree with BMR on the bang for buck.
I STILL question the worth of adjustable LOWER control arms! If you can adjust them, you can also get the lengths mismatched. I also fly RC helicopters, so I DO understand how critical matched control lengths can be!
If you want to adjust you pinion angle, get the adjustable UPPER link. While you might screw up the pinion angle, you WON'T twist you axle sidways while doing it. Ever see old pickups going down the road crabbing sideways because their leaf springs have warped??? Different cause, but still!

BMR here also, I went with the non adustable urethane lowers, feels great on the street. The rear is more stable under me and no "mushy" feeling anymore. BMR, best bang for the buck.
Like RRR mentioned above, better adjusting the pinion angle with the upper link. IMO, Ive had adjustable lowers over the years, and I've never needed to "position" the rear, so I chose to go non-adjustable with this ride. Its nice to have the adjustability if u need it, but I never neded it.
Just my $.02 worth
