Is anyone using Maximummotorsports heavy duty Adjustable rear lower control arms? I want them to prevent my driveshaft from rubbing on the e-brake bracket and cables and I don't mind having the car a little higher from the rear, I think it looks kool. Do you guyz think this mod iz worth it considering i'm mostly stock?

DO you still have the bracket that goes ontop of the pinion?

their def worth it IMO. but a cheaper alternative i seen b4 is little spacers that sit ontop of the spring pearch, or you could get some urethane spring isolators

what pinion? actually i dont mind the price on the LCA's i've seen them for $360, but if itz a good difference in ride height and helpz my rubbing problem i'll definately get them. I've heard alot about polyurethane being noisy when it comes to suspension partz and i'm trying to avoid that.

I just looked up the summit urethane spring isolators from summit will they really lift my car a bit?If it will I could get that instead of the LCA's and spend my money on something better for my stang.

I think thats the same as the coil spring set from summit. These are what pops up when you do a search for spacers.

When I got an aluminum DS, it rubbed the e-brake cables/bracket. I got the adjustable LCA's for that very purpose. It's okay if the car is empty but if you have people in the back seat, it will rub still. I had to replace the uppers as well to prevent the slop in the pinion angle.

The spring isolators will only lift the car if you dont already have spring isolators on there. Couldnt you just grind off some of the bracket or hit it witha BFH?

the stock ones are pretty ripped up and one of them looks like itz almost completely gone so i think it might help. Oh and LCA's will have to wait for now, because I just ordered spring isolators, a VSS, and an edelbrock performer intake. I don't know why I did that. oh well.
