Default Which is better.. Southside Machine or Granatelli Weight Jacker Lower Control Arms?

I like the granatelli weight jacker lowers for their adjustable ride height. A lot of people seem to have good luck with the southside machine's. I currently have the granatelli adjustable uppers. Which do you prefer? Ride quality isn't really an issue.

my buddy had a heck of a time to get the Granatelli's to fit, it should have been a easy swap, but didn't fit right. he ended up getting edelbrock adjustable uppers, then i think it was urp lowers, but i could be wrong about lowers. they fit great

southsides are beast and yes they still make them. Lakewood is also a good traction bar. The lakewoods you can bolt on and take off. Unlike the southsides you have to have them welded to the rear. But talk about hooking. Ouch look out torque boxes!! Your car will ride like a pos but as far as traction goes it will make it hook hard. Also you can use ford motorsport heavy duty uppers with southsides, and eliminated the quad shocks on 87-93 mustangs thats what most people do.
