Hi, guys. I'm going to be ordering some MM rear lower adjustable control arms, Ford Racing uppers, and and Strange adjustable shocks. I have BBK progrssive rate springs 1.5 drop. Does anybody see a promblem with this setup and my springs. Trying to get more traction. Just worried about the lowering springs and wondering if this will work out good for me? Thanks

I'd go for a better spring. Use a good known suspension company instead of a copy cat company like bbk. I would use a double adj upper control arm too and have the pinion angle set.

I have MM lca's and they look cool, but didn't do dick in terms of helping me. Put in a set of torque box reinforcements while you have the control arms out. Rick 91GT makes a nice set

I was thinking about getting coil-overs eventually but do not have the funds yet to many other things on my mind. And wanted to know if I can still have adjustment with the adjustable lowers and BBK's? Because I plan on putting some 18" buillts on my car.

Or should I forget the coil-overs....which is alot of $$$$ and ditch the BBK's and get some H&R's?

I take it to adjust the pinion angle you use and angle finder? Is this a pretty easy thing to accomplish for medium skilled mechanic?

if your gonna do coilovers eventually buy the motor sport c springs. they give you an inch drop and they handle like stockers so you wont lose any weight transfer. from what i hear the bbks are stiff and you wont hook for **** at least with the c springs you cant get any worse.
oh yeah and they are pretty cheap i got mine for 150

I've been thinking if I go with coil-overs....adjustable control arms are a waste of money? Am I right or way off here?
