Default which control arms for launching??

right now the car has regreaseable SPOHN tubular control arms, would the box be better for drag racing and launching, or keep the tubulars?

the chromemoly tubular heim jointed style lca's are usually whats found on the fastest cars. any boxed or poly bushed style arm will have a tendency to bind the suspension at some point. call or pm us for more info or to order. we manufacture in-house and have the best deals on any suspension component for the f-body cars.

The relocation brackets are mainly for when/if your car is lowered. They are just fine on the street. You really need adjustable control arms if you get relocation brackets, because as soon as you move the control arm into a different hole w/o adjusting it, if you can, your tires will be against your inner fender and cut your tires. I have Mid West Chassis adjustable tubular control arms and cant ask for a better piece, or better customer service. But you cant go wrong with any tubular adjustable lower control arm.
