Default Good Lower Control Arm For Drag Racing

Okay guys Im looking for a good decently priced lower control arm for drag racing only, not much street driving.

What do you guys think?

Either build your own or buy a rod/rod one. Madman builds a nice one at Thunder Racing. I made my own with the same raw materials and it only cost me about $80.

Pick your brand but for race only I would definitely get a rod/rod control arm.

In a mostly race setup, I highly recommend UMI's Double Adjustable rod ended Lower Control Arms.



We sell the regular versions for $219.99 shipped, but we recommend the chromemoly versions for $249.99 shipped.

Coolio. What would be the difference. Car is gonna be stripped and probably not making much horsepower.

What would make me need chromoly? Just extra insurance for breakage or do they actualy work better.

Sorry this is my first time doing an only drag setup.

Ive decided on a Pavlock performance rod/rod setup, red powdercoated for like 160 bucks.
