I'm in Phase 3 of my suspension upgrades. Here's what's been done so far:
1LE control arm bushings, 1LE front/rear springs, welded subframe connectors, STB, 35 mm front/ 21 mm rear Strano hollow swaybars, urethane endlinks , and various "reinforcement" to the rear.
I'm about to put on SA Koni's on all four corners, but am considering replacing the front and rear bushings and ball joints while I'm in there.
My question is - What are the benefits in replacing the front upper and lower control arms with aftermarket ones? Besides being a slight bit lighter, and offering increased camber settings, do they really provide any seat of the pants change? At nearly $700, I can think of other things that would probably do more...
Obviously, my goals are toward cornering and not drag racing...
