I have those same arms, and wish I'd never have done them. My car's WAY too much of a daily driver for them. The big issue I have with them is the fact that any movement at all in the car makes the bushings on the arms squeak like hell.

Your car's going to be a completely different beast after all of that gets installed though! Do you have any subframe connectors on?

Why the hate on adjustable control arms? I put UPR single adjustable lowers and double adjustable uppers with Spherical bushings in my DD. By far the best upgrade I've done.

I seem to remember you have a steeda k-member already. You are going to have a sweet suspension setup.

My God, I want the PHB and torque arm! Very nice score.

Got a few reason but they all relate to adjustability.

$1600 bucks right there. Been saving all year pretty much for it. Kinda like an xmas present to myself. Before I moved cross country I was getting into auto-x, but the car was set up for drag racing(very poorly and poor driver). Anything truely geared towards handling is way more expensive.

I got sub frames sitting in my garage as well. The plan was for it to be a totally different car. As far as the bushings my car has never been a daily. That coupled with the LT's/off road midpipe/SLP LM1 exhaust I doubt it will bother me.

They transmit more NHV and sometimes that can be a problem. For me it's really not.

I hope so. My next big purchase will be some MM bilsteins. I also need to pick up some T/A springs for the rear and find a set of H&R race for up front. I also want a set of cobra front control arms. It's all a big $$$$$ racket lol.



Thanks everyone else.

Don't get me wrong, I love everything else about those arms. The VERY noticeable improvement in traction, the ability to slam it lower, or raise it up for slicks, etc. I just hate it when I'm pulling out of a parking spot when my locker decides to stay engaged, and the tires scrub the ground a bit, causing the control arms to chirp like a nest of baby birds. I'm always paranoid about non car enthusiasts looking at my car like it's a cheap piece of crap because of all the noise it makes.

I wouldn't worry about doing the cobra front LCA's they won't really give you anything as far as handling. I would just save a little bit more and get MM FLCA's. They are a much better bang for the buck.

Camouflage cat !

 

[GDawg]

Sweet dude!

I'm going to get those same control arms. I already pretty much have the rest of the suspension but I just can't plant my ass at the track.

I never got any stickers from MM! And I've spent tons of money with them! I'll have to look...

Suspension Kitty!

Yeah, I was reading up on them tonight and I think I will pass.

Speed Concepts - M-3075-D - Ford Racing 2003-2004 Cobra Front Lower Control Arms Kit for all 1994-2004 Mustang GT/V6/Bullitt/Mach1/Cobra

The kit features (2) front lower control arm assemblies with 50% stiffer rear bushings and low friction ball joints.
● These control arms have a redesigned stamping to improve the turning circle approximately 10% on 1994-1998 Mustangs.

I have a 99+ and can fix the ball joints and bushings with what I already got. The MM is a nice piece but I don't want to go coil over so that rules them out. Also I like a little heft up there. Not looking to break any records here. Just a fun car.

Ya if your not looking to go coilovers then I would look into the H&R springs. I've heard good things about them.
