Re: lower control arms
IMO, just by "boxing" the factory units works just as well. I've also heard of people running 1.3 60ft. times with stockers.
It all depends on who you ask. I think they would improve handling more than anything else.

Re: lower control arms
My brother runs HPM lowers and stock uppers with new bushings. Gets 1.33 60 ft.s Not bad if you ask me.
I run both the upper and lower HPM, but have only got a best of a 1.67 so far, but have not got to try it much since I got the turbo on (Something about the car being tore apart every 3 weeks for the last 2 years keeps stopping me.....)

Re: lower control arms
I have lakewood lower's, they seemed to make it handle a bit tighter, but my 60' did not change that i could notice, i might know when i get gears....
