Default Control Arms

i have about a week to decide which upper and lower control arms to go with for my 2003 mustang gt. after researching on summit, i found that summit has their own parts. summit offers upper and lower control arms for about the same price for just the lower control arms from steeda. both pieces would cost me about 500 bucks from steeda, but summit offers both pieces for half the price. i couldnt get specs from either to compare them, so i dont know if i would get what i am paying for from steeda as opposed to saving some dough and going with summit racing control arms. is there going to be a difference?

The Steeda upper and lower control arms are great quality
and will help you with any traction issues you may have.
Also they will last you a long long time! I would get the
Steeda control arms for sure! :thumbsup

steeda's reputation is because of their winning track record....you might also want to check out www.maximummotorsports.com as they have quality products as well.....
what kind of application are u gonna use the control arms for??? if they are for normal street use/daily driver, i would recommend either the Steeda, MM, or www.x2cmotorsports.com control arms..... www.UPRproducts.com also makes great priced control arms but i think that they are more for drag racing and might not provide as much traction or handling as steedas or MM....good luck, let us know what u get
