I have these and love them, huge noticeable difference over stock.
They are billet and have graphite impregnated bushings.

Don't forget the Watt's link for predictable lateral axle location. And sway bars are really nice, but do come with a small penalty in ride quality.

I just installed my Heinous Control Arms. What a kit!!! My first impression; Well this 4400lb car became composed, lost the loose feel in the rear and became more accurate with fast steering changes and throttle input. It feels tighter and lighter. So far this is the in the top three mods you can do on the cheap IMO. Gears and a programmer also make the top 3.

Do you still have the stock Watt's link?

Yes I do. I wanted this to be transitional because I don't want to have a harsh ride. I still may replace it due to the age of the bushings.

if updating to metco watts link, also take time to replace and update with new watts link stud it mounts too. adtr does not have any more arp studs left, some can be found here from time to time, i sold mine, but i installed a new one to ward off any possible fatigue issues.

and yes new heavy duty metco watts link make huge improvement, and no hot harshen the ride, imo.

Just Great!!!
Here I am on this rainy afternoon in the Texas hill country...looking over the MM website...and already I have found TWO mods to make to my dtr...in addition to the ones I have already done...

I may be banished to the farmhouse if I keep looking here today.

BUT THANKS for the information...cannot wait to get started ordering again.

Polyurethane in the control arms can increase ride firmness, as can a larger sway bar. The Watt's link is for lateral location, and as such does not contribute noticeably to ride harshness. But it does get rid of the tail wag.
