still looking for some. i do like the grease fitting of the aftermarket ones. i hate how poly's squeak if not lubed good.
so the arms made it launch straighter too? mine twist hard to the left when it comes off the line. it would always unload the front right tire real bad when awd.
the Lower control arms increased the firmness in the ride. Noticable around turns I believe the stock lowers flexed allowing some give with the black rated springs. Also the footprint from both tires are now consistant with ea other. the 1.8 are from 4wd but i do believe there is also lost energy from the upward movement vs. leaving forward. it leaves evenly now. I have not been down the track yet with the new combo.
I am looking into some alternatives in this department(shocks) as well.

some guys put wooded blocks between the upper control arm and the little lip below it. others have bolted straps to the frame and lower control arm. it would suck for a ride around town but ok for track.

i looking more into why the edelbrock tubular panhard rod wouldn't fit. could a person build one from thick dom tubing and bend it around the cover where needed. then put gussets in the bends?

i seen a few aftermarket ones for other cars like that, which is why i ask. i figure you would want a thicker dom tube than a car. but with a good gusset, it should be strong and could use stock mounting points.
