Alright tomorrow im gonna order me UPR subframe connectors and while im there im thinking about UPR upper/lower control arms for 199 bucks, which sounds like a deal to me. But are they really worth it? What kind of difference will i see with these. I know the subframe connectors will make a difference and help with my traction problems, but what about the control arms?

But are they really worth it, how big of a difference do they really make? Eventually i want full suspension done but one thing at a time so im in no rush, but while its in the air getting the subframe conn installed might as well get something else.

I think with the power you got wit the kb, it would be a good investment, i have seen sub 10sec street cars using them. The guy i bought mine from has a 900+hp 04 cobra he swapped the irs out for an 8.8 he was running 9.50s and up with the same control arms. with 10.5" E.T Street. sick TT cobra.

Let me know how you like the SFC's, I'm going to invest in them soon. As far as the control arms, I would just do the LCA's and sell the UCA's. You don't really need them, unless you do a lot of road racing.

control arms are a great investment right behind Subframe connectors as far as suspensions go. Once you get them on go out and light them up and let go of the wheel you figure out really quick that the rear doesnt want to come around on you any more. Another thing is to take a on or off ramp powering through the curve. you wont feel that twitch or wiggle that you used to feel in the rear.
I did the lca and sfc at the same time made evey thing titer and doesent walk out as much and Im looking at getting the uca that are adjustable to change pinion angle and to help with trackion bc I think the stock ones twist to much bc I did sfc lca and tourqe box reinformance
