Control arms

Is there really a substantial benefit to installing rear aftermarket control arms.......

The biggest benefit would be for camber correction when lowering. Other than that, maybe a little bit of handling. With stiffer arms and urethane bushings, the rear will feel tighter. Add some trailing arm bushings, and the rear will be very planted.
