    Hotchkis boxed LCA are the best you can buy, IMHO, for drag racing.

    There is no upper or lower.

      1le is a tad better than stock
      you want something w/ poly bushings & boxed for drag racing only
      you want something tubular w/ a rod on at least one end for autocross or road racing.

      anything boxed or tubular w/ poly bushings on both ends is not good for autocross or road racing.

      hotchkis is arguably the best drag LCA.

      lgmotorsports is arguably the best provider of rod-end lca's. They make the most streetable one & the most hardcore. Streetable is on the website as a race adjustable for 199 bucks. Has a poly end & a rod end, put the poly end on the body & rod on the axle side. They also make a lightweight aluminum lca w/ dual rod ends for about 240 (I am pretty sure that is for the pair, but it could be 240 each). You will have to call them to order the aluminum one.

      bmr is a provider of medium-quality products. If you get their rod-end lca, expect the end to become noisy & wear out quickly.

      You want lower control arms (LCA's).

      AND PLEASE DO NOT TYPE TOPIC TITLES IN ALL CAPS, IT IS CONSIDERED YELLING AND QUIET ANNOYING.

          When u ask about the upper lower control ares those are the fron control arms and an adjustable one is better so you can tweak your settings.
