Best adjustable control arms for dd?
Not too long ago I found my lower front control arm bracket had crushed out, causing the rubber bushing to fail and the control arm to bend a little. Now I am in the market to replace my lower control arms. Since I plan on lifting it soon (3") I figured I'd go ahead and get the adjustable so i can try and keep my geometry as perfect as possible.
I've heard brands like currie with jj's will be really rough for my drive (100 miles round trip of pot hole covered, neglected, twisty turny WV roads)
My question is what would be a good setup for me?

If you are aiming for soft&smooth DD, than one thing you dont want to do is to replace your rubber bushings with ball joints (which most of the adj. arm are equipeed with). Apart from the fact, that these will no be longer maintenance free, the main point is that you will be loosing the main parts that make your car behave soft&smooth - which is something you are looking for with your DD. With that in mind I recall that MetalCloak has adjustable arms with rubber bushings (although wastly improved over the stock ones as regards flex).
