upper/lower control arms

Which upper and lowers should I get? Adjustable or non adj? There is too many to choose from. This car is going to be used on the strip only. This car will have a c4 if that matters. And I am going to put in some battle boxes for the lowers but should I do it on the uppers too. Thanks.

If it's a strip only car, go with adjustables all around. D&D makes a great set, Steeda, etc etc. I'd also make sure they had spherical bearings instead of bushings for a strip only car.

Battle boxes are a must. On the uppers, just weld up the factory mounts really good. I have friend that reinforced them with 1/8" plate, which might not be a bad idea for you too. The uppers get "pulled" on, and the factory spot welds get ripped out.

Good luck!
