I'm not asking about MM or anything else, This is STRICTLY about Stang suspension LCA Ty

I have sportlines on my car, and i'm running 255 45 17 (Same diameter as a 295 35 18) in the back, it was the only way to get rid of the wheel gap i had EVEN with sportlines.

Now, the car has a big ole rake, which is nice, but it looks jacked up in the rear, and the front end looks slammed, and it just doesn't look right like that. I still have about 3 fingers worth of gap in the rear, and like 1.5 finger up front. I can lower the rear 1" with adj. LCAs, so then the car will have a more even stance and won't look jacked up in the rear, and also i can use the added traction.

Are the Stang suspension control arms any good? I don 't want something that'll break in half when i launch at the track (which is like once a month, and i'm at stock power level on street tires)

I would take the isolators out, but when you take the isos out of the rear on sportliens, the damn spring gets ready to fly out!

Also, i was reading on a S197 site, that when you lower the rear of the car with LCA, the whole Rear end moves toward the front of the car. I'm thinking that looks ugly if the rear wheels are pulled all the way to the front of the car, is this so on our cars to?
Regardless i'm going to get the LCA. i figure even if i lower it 2/10 of an inch, i'm at a gain. I will also use POLY isolators, so it shouldnt be too low, even at its lowest setting

I was actually just looking at those this morning.

They seem well constructed.

The guys at StangSuspension rock. I met them at Mustang Week. I sent them an e-mail yesterday and got a response incredibly fast. They will be very helpful for any questions you may have for them.

install is Super easy. The only thing that may get in the way is the tail pipes blocking the removal of the Chassis-to-LCA Bolt.
