Dude with ebay its hit or miss. If you feel good about it than go for it. That price seems pretty enticing though.

Unless youre on a budget MM's shat is pricey. My UPR LCA's are of great quality and they were pretty inexpensive

darkside03gt · May 31, 2008

dont do it. mm or steeda or griggs. there are some things you shouldnt cheap out on. if you want to see what happens when you buy cheap LCAs do a search 4 granatell LCAs and you will see what happens.

It doesn't matter. MM, UPR, steeda, mac and ebay specials are all the same when it comes to performance which isn't much. They are all just stock arms made out of different material. The still keep the same stock geometery which is why you will gain no performance from them. Ford racing, mega bite or comp engineering are the only control arms that do anything for you.

stay away from granatelli....they are straight up the worst ever UCA's and LCA's.

save your money, for steeda's or mm's.

personally I wouldn't even waste money on UCA's. you're better off to get 2, 1/4" - 1/2" steel plates and have them welded onto the open end of the UCA's like you see in the picture.

with the LCA's...I'd personally get a set that are adjustable, so you can make necessary adjustments at the track or as needed.

I recommend the Steeda Billet Lower Adjustable Control Arms...they are about $399 but worth every penny. rode in a car that had them and they are nice! they are on my to do list.

Steeda products are for posers that like Looks over performance.

MM>Steeda

actually......

MM>ALL!!!

Just look how sexy my MM arms look.....

MM isn't that pricey if you know where to buy and find the right sale.

Mr Boogeyman · Jun 1, 2008

Someone locally was selling them for $120 brand new thats why I was asking..I already have the upper torque box reiforcement plates welded in (not the lower ones though)

good man. i recommend gettiing rid of the stocker lowers...they are junk. get mm or steedas.

oxfordgt · Jun 1, 2008

Adjustable lowers are only for adjusting height. Not worth $399 in my book.

These are the only type of lowers that work.

ScortLX · Jun 1, 2008

What kind of brace is that on your rear end oxford? I know I have heard of it, but have never seen one installed. Like it?

SRT Handz · Jun 1, 2008

i believe that brace is to support the axle tubes

ScortLX · Jun 1, 2008

Gotcha. I vaguely remember that. Would that actually help? What kind car would need that? Drag or open track?

Work, in what sense?

I don't even know where to begin

To the OP: Those ebay LCA's you linked don't look very well made, and have dual ended poly bushings. If you only care about going straight, then I'm sure they'll be "fine." However, a dual ended poly LCA will bind in a turn, which is undesirable.

I dont even know where to start with this one. I think you need to do some re-search on suspension parts.

the guys who designed these suspension parts probably forgot more about mustang suspensions then you will ever know. if they are such crap why are so many people running them? why are so many people winning compitions at the track with there parts installed? there is a reason that everyone reccomends theese product. because THEY ACTUALLY WORK.

I agree my UPR's do actually work and are outstanding IMO.

They probably work great down the 1/4 going straight, but I wouldn't expect much more from them.
