Default Rear Controle arm and traction rods adbice

Hey everyone. I'm about to buy some parts to finish my rear suspension. ( adjustible controle arm and traction rods) does anyone have any advise on what brand I should go with? My tires have been waring on the inside really bad. This should fix or atleast help my problem right? Thanks in advance.

Id go with circuit sport. They make pretty decent suspension arms and they are well priced.

Anyone have any good experience with Godspeed? Read a review on Amazon about a guy having his snapped. Not sure of the driving conditions he was under when it happened.

Anyone else running Circuit Sports' suspension items? They do seem pretty well reviewed on other platforms as a "bang for the buck" brand, but I can't find anything about them for the SC. Their prices look to be closer to the high end stuff than the no-name stuff.

I've read mostly bad things about their products. Low quality, heavy, and occasionally completely impossible fitment. They're maybe a notch above OBX... On the other hand, there's a lot of speculation that they're just rebranded Megan Racing.

I need to address my rear control arms and probably traction rods at some point, so I've been looking around at options, as well.

That's something I've been wondering if the Godspeed products may be rebadged items. Wondered if anyone has had any luck with them. Ordered Megan rear camber arms and looking into front camber arms as well as the rear traction and toe arms. Not trying to jack your thread just looking for similar answers.

I use Megan lower rear adjustable control arms and traction arms ... the adjustability of the control arms were so vast my alignment specialist did not even have to touch factory adjustment. My rear was set to -1.0 camber and could have gone to almost zero if I wanted to . My rears have never worn as even as now

Currently have battle version trac and toe arms sitting on the shelf since I'm trying to find megan lca for a decent price. Would installing battle version rear uca be an overkill to adjust camber? Car is lowered to about a 1.5 finger gap all around. My use for the car is street aggressive. Thanks

Vince - you should be able to correct camber with the stock lower arm and camber bolt to get it within spec at that height.
