Thinking about getting CHE lowers only, worth it?

I've been messing around with my suspension lately, and I've finally gotten the bug to lower my car (spring situation is pretty well covered, I have SN95 springs to use). However I figured while I was in there, why not throw on some lower control arms too? I'm eyeing the CHE arms since they're a good price. Is it worth it to install lowers only? I guess I could always get the uppers later, although I've also heard some people advise to get lowers and leave the stock uppers...I dunno :dunno:

Do the lowers, it's much more important to do the lowers than the uppers.  I would also get the lower torque boxes welded up while you're in there.

I actually have a set of battle boxes that would go in with the arms.

Bought the upper and lower kit a few months ago and all i have to say is,GREAT QUALITY pieces.
These things are awesome and really tighten up the rear of the car.
The arms look and act amazing and come with all new high quality hardware.
Save up the few extra bucks and get the whole kit and don't forget to put in the discount code of coolcats to get 10% off.
Got my whole kit for 199.00 shipped to canada,awesome deal,highly recomended.

I just  installed the CHE lowers.  I also repaced all the upper bushings with ones from NAPA.  The CHE arms are VERY HIGH QUALITY.  I would not hesitate to use them.  The car rides and handles great.
