Default Suspension Advise

Wanted to get some input on a few things im looking into buying very soon.

Upper and Lower Control Arms, I was looking at Speed Tech, Global West or DSE.... Is one better then the other or are they all about the same just choice???

And looking at Alston G-Link or the Prodigy Bar 4 link. Was looking at the bolt in type so I can do this at home. Im not sure but I was thinking some members had problems with Prodigy shipping things out.

Any Pro's Con's would Help me seeing that this is an area im just now looking into..

Thanks!
-Brian

The guys at Speedtech are awesome. So are the products they produce and they deliver on time. All my dealings with them have been very very positive.

They get my vote!

That's balance and driver, tonto. Mine is finally doing the same on the smaller courses. I'm sure Blake and the boys will share their knowledge for a satisfied customer.

I can help you out with any of them Hotchkis, Speedtech, DSE, BMR, and Ridetech.

I personally am a big fan of BMR. Especially there rear Torque arm kit. Great handling, exceptional price point, and a great product. Shoot me a email or give me a call for anything I can do for you.
