Adjustable Control Arms

[89_LX]

When I bought my car in Dec. 06 It had already been lowered with tokico springs and adjustable shocks. I dont know how much it was lowered and neither did the guy i bought it from so it was probably lowered before he owned it.

One problem i have with the setup is that it looks lower in the back than in the front, and the driver side rear seems to sag a bit compared to the passenger rear (based on the amount of space between the tire and rear fenders)

I have been looking for something to fix the problem and recently found these maximum motorsports lower control arms that i think could fix the driver side sag and lift the rear end up a little.

I just wanted to hear some opinions as to if these are a bad idea to install or not, and maybe hear from someone that has them.

Those will work. But it sounds like your springs are just weak and wore out. Somebody may have cut/heated the factory springs. I would get a new set and be done with it.

I would get the adj. lowers and new rear springs, I have them and its nice to be able to have some movement in the back and you can get rid of that ghetto lean

I don't have those control arms but I have adjustable control arms on my car and it helped me and it seems as though our cars suspension is set up about the same. I still have a lot of traction problems though, they didn't help as much as I thought they would with that.

Well my springs are red, they look pretty thick, and create a really stiff ride so im positive they're not the stock springs that someone cut. (I'd like to drive a 5.0 fox with stock suspension so I could compare the handling to mine) I think im just going to buy these they should fix both of my problems, they also may give me some extra clearance if i ever want to run slicks at the track. Im not expecting any added traction from them but it would be nice. Just as long as they're safe, but from what i've heard maximum's stuff is good.

Thanks for the input
