Default control arms

i boxed my factory control arms and put in energy suspension bushings. to try and keep the stock look underneath and save money. i saw next to no difference on my street tires. it took away alot of the wheelhop but now it just spins bad.i might throw my slicks on tommorow to try it. also when i shift the car there is a loud clunk from both the back of the car and under my seat i think its the torque arm. that will me my next step.

Spinning is alot better than wheel hop. Wheel hop is violent and breaks ****.

I love my Spohn torque arm. They rock.

For the clunking check your control arm bolts, when you took them out to box them you may not have tightened them enough.

For spinning a torque arm is a great start. Also a inexpensive start would be a set of control arm relocation brackets. Check out the links below and if you have any questions please ask.

Trying to fab something up might hurt you more then help you. Save for some lcas and relocation brackets. I have UMI lcas and relocation brackets they are great products.
