Is there a difference between the 2008 GT Lower Control Arms and a 2009 SVT GT500 Lower Control Arms? I have the availability of using the SVT Control Arms on my GT and they appear visually to be identical. What I have seen on the web is that the bushings are different to allow for stiffer performance on the SVT. >>? With that being said, it may make sense to swap.

Depends on the cost, if you got them for free YES! If you have to pay then NO.

Free to Me!

Yes, free to me, question is still, is there a difference between the 2008 GT Lower Control Arms and a 2009 SVT GT500 Lower Control Arms? I have the availability of using the SVT Control Arms on my GT and they appear visually to be identical. What I have seen on the web is that the bushings are different to allow for stiffer performance on the SVT. >>?

Is it worth the switch, probably not. You might notice the responsiveness of the bushings, but highly unlikely. Might as well just get some aftermarket LCA's. The install time wouldn't be worth it for me at least.
