Default kmac vs. adjustable control arms?

seems like every local shop i've talked to in the LA area recommends to do the control arms instead of the kmac.

i'm thikning of going the adjustable control arm route because of this, but what do you think?

also, what is better the ecs or the forge adjustable control arms?
are the ecs ones comparable quality wise to the forge?

thanks

Default With coilovers you want something for the top and bottom>>

Having only 1 or the other for only top or bottom won't give you enough adjustability. My recommendation? Get KMAC kit for the bottom and adj. controls arms for the top.

Default They recommend that because it's easier.....>

YOu will not have any toe (other than stock) adjustability, and the range may not be enough to get it in spec. Hence the full Kmac recommendation which will allow easy toe settings.

The ECS arms are a Knock-off of the Forge arms (so are the Strat ones for that matter).
