About time to upgrade from the stock suspension...I have seen some peeps replace the lowers and leave the stock uppers ....

Please share what brand and what was replaced and what the results were...

50resto Mustang Rear Control Arm Kits at LRS - Same Day Shipping!

These stopped ALL my wheel hop in my 91 notchback. I even ditched the quad shocks. I also only have 245-45-R17 Goodyears on there too. So I could spin the hell out of them with NO wheel hop. They also have grease fittings so they can be serviced to keep them quiet.

Want to spend less money? Want to raise and lower the ride height with the spring spacers and the adjustable mounting bolt?...(without spending 450 on Steedas)!!! Only CON is that they do not have grease fittings.
79-98 CONTROL ARMS, MEGA-BITE JR, REAR, MUSTANG MUSTANG

I have these on my Cobra and they hook up good. These are strong, durable, and don't break the bank, but give you high quality and many different ride height options. They don't make noise in warm weather, but if it's out in 40* weather or cooler, they will squeak. You can hear it inside the car with the radio OFF...but they've been on my car for 7 years, so what can I expect?

I have mega bite jr upper and lower and they have been great. You can adjust from drag to road race.

On my "stock" S351 I'm thinking of going with J&M Products because of the 3 piece bushing and getting the spherical bearing on the other end. You can get the 3 piece on both ends also. They are a sponser of StangNet and have their parts on Ebay also.

Maximum Motorsports does the same type of thing with their bushings...a 2 piece poly bushing will cause bind in the rear which is what you don't want. (This is what most everyone else has 2 piece bushings). Yes I have used them before and have Hotchkiss on the car now. But they cause more bind than stock.

Heres J&M's link, blow up the pic and look at the bushing. Go to Maximum Motorsports website and they talk about the bind without this. Maximum's arms have 3 piece bushing/bearing or bearing/bearing in both ends, but are more spendy.

HotPart.com - Mustang Rear Lower Control Arms

EDIT: Maximum Motorsports does NOT even sell anything but stock upper control arms. They say with a panhard bar which they want you to use that a poly bushing arm would bind/ potential damage to torque box.......anyway J&M has uppers with the 3 piece bushing to eliminate bind also. Steeda sells stock braced uppers.
Also there are bearings that you can use on the axle end that install in the rear end housing.
