Only bad thing about the SD.com arms are if you aren't running a 22" wheel you lose lift because the upper balljoint binds because of the angle used to lay the 22's. I have a set in the shop right now with this problem and I'm going to end up building the guy a new set of uppers and lowers. If you have the skills, knowledge, and tools, I say go for it, otherwise there are alot of good ones on the market.

I have no problems with lift out of my SD arms on 20s. I am running drop spindles and a taller upper cup and it untucks the 20s by like 3" with a 4.75 BD and RE7s.
As for this guys post. There is SERIOUS R&D work into the better control arms on the market. If you don't know where to start already, chances are you should be buying arms. No offence.
