Recommend me some control arms

[Sonic04GT]

Need a set of good, but not ridiculously expensive lower control arms. What do you guys have?

Suspension mods:
Steeda Sport Springs
Tokico Blues
Steeda 4-Bolt CC Plates
MM Subframes

The MM control arms are great. I have the XDs and like them (solid spherical bushings at both ends).

 

[Kilgore Trout]

MM of course...

 

[Sonic04GT]

Are the Steeda aluminum ones any good? Found 'em for a good price.

Otherwise it's MM.

Are you going with a coil over set up or keeping the stock strut/spring set up?

Shock/Strut/Spring for now. Just put em on less than a year ago.

When I decide to buy a new K-member I'll take the plunge and switch to coilovers.

Get yourself one of those little propane torches from oreillys and Heat em and Beat em!

I have the regular MM LCA's and love them, MAAAAN what a difference they made!

If you are doing any dragracing, do not get the "heavy duty" MM LCAs, as the bushings WILL break at the strip. It happened to me and then I switched to their Extreme Duty LCAs. They work very well.

Opps. Did I say I have the HDs? I guess I meant to say the extremes, the ones with solids spherical bushings at both ends. They are a bit louder than stock, but feel very solid, love-em.

I fixed it in my last post. MM XDs FTW!

I have always had great luck with UPR.

I had the regular Maximum Motorsport control arms and they
really helped alot with traction off the line.They definitley made
my mustang feel alot more solid.I always have a good experience
with Maximum Motorpsorts as their customer service is excellent
and the staff likes to help people.

after busting EVERY bushing in a set of NEW UPRs in less than 1500 miles i switched to the MM XD's (solid both ends)

MM is by far the best but they do make a little more noise and they are hell on my torque boxes. every time i downshift hard i can hear something make a loud noise that i think is related to the torque boxes being under so much stress

The XD version of the Maximum Motorsport control arms make alittle
bit of noise compairing to the regular Maximum Motorsport control arms.
Also XD version is to be used on race only applications and is meant to
be used at the track or race.
The regular version of their control arms are meant for street/highway driving.
Once your torque boxes are ruined you mite as well buy another mustang.

This girl got the rear suspension parts installed this weekend as hoped for. Didn't have any issues with the control arm bolts. They came right out.

Still have a few more projects before I can get my 'stang back on the road, but that's what winter projects are for.

i was not taking a chance with ANY bushings to fail again. Torque boxes can be fixed even if they rip off the car (seen it done and fixed before)

there are more than a few cars running the streets with solid LCA's. i just need to add some bracing and it will be fine.

lol im sure that has nothing to do with having 750rwhp

it's all thanks to my cold air intake
