Rear Control Arms

Mac_5.0 · 04-14-2003, 02:06 PM

I am in the market for upper and lower rear control arms. I have read a few good things about the BBK ones, but my parts guy says he can get a better deal on the MAC ones. To me they both look almost identical in the pictures. Does anyone out there have a preference? Also, is it worth stepping up to the fully adjustable control arms? I will be doing a mixture of some light autocrossing and drag racing but mostly just driving on the street.

Thanks

I have the BBK ones. My brother has the MAC ones. Theres no differance to me. I wouldn't get the adjustable ones. There a pain to setup, unles you really need them.

I ran the Mac Adjustable Uppers with their lowers. I like the uppers, they let me do the adjustments I need for pinion angle. I am switching the lowers to a set of Lakewood T/A arms that have adjustability in them for better traction. If you can get a deal on them, then do it, they are definitely better than stock.
