Finally bought MM LCA's

[9 Deuce GT]

I finally broke down and bought MM lower control arms. I should have gotten these years ago, but it was something that was not too high on my list. I probably should have boughten them before adding any power, because I now have excessive wheel hop issues with the stock arms. Hopefully these will take care of it.

I am trying to build a rock solid platform that does not flex, but still offers good ride quality. I used to not care about the ride quality so much, but ever since I bought the Bilstein's and the front MM coilovers, I need to have excellent ride characteristics. My life depends on it! LOL

Up next: FMS uppers and Rick's torque box reinforcements.

I'm sure everyone has seen them before, but here they are anyway:

I just put these on my car. Only I got the arms with adjustable height spring perches. I also put a set of STEEDA adjustable uppers on at the same time....i love the way it looks and feels.

good buy!!!

I was really considering the MM adjustables. I am obsessed with ride height and looks, (although my car has yet to achieve the perfect, IMO, ride height LOL). They would have worked perfect for the rear of my car, but I plan to get rear coilovers in the next couple of years and didn't want to pay the extra expense now.

Bottlefed: How did you like the build quality? Mine were up to the expectations I have come to love from MM.

awesome, i plan to buy these in the near future.

bottlefed, how do you like the adjustable Steeda uppers? I was considering them but thought they were pretty hard core and decided on some UMI non adj uppers. I plan on hitting the strip with the car when I get it where I want it but not all the time. I however plan on about 500+ to the wheels by the time I'm done with everything. So should I go adj upper or stay non adj?

With 500+ to the wheels you may want to consider a torque arm.

I have the same one's with ford racing uppers. Good choice!

 

[Shakerhood]

MM Adjustables are on my Want list for my car!

It will have a torque arm for sure.

It will have a torque arm for sure.

I was under the impression that a torque arm replaced the upper control arms??

9 Duece - Very sexy! You will be overwhelmingly pleased with those. Congrats!!

It does. Once you put the T/A on then you can remove both of the upper arms. For 500hp you are going to need the HD T/A from MM.

Sorry. I was thinking something different. Torque arm is a possibility though.

My brother has an MM torque arm and panhard bar set on his car, what a PITA to install.. Air hammer is a good thing to have for that one.

Do you guys actually notice a difference from just the LCAs? I'm going with the Pro3i ones which look exactly like the MM units.

 

[genericstang]

im debating between the MM and Pro3's too.

i was also wondering(and sorry for slightly hijacking on this thread) if by getting adjustables, would i be able to "fix" the mustang lean?

 

[89Notch]

Sure you would, you can set each height independant. Or get coilovers. My dad just installed the complete MM coil over kit with bilsteins on his 94. I haven't seen it yet but he is very happy.
