Yawn to all the old fart bands. Give me some Tool instead.


Anyway, a decent set of adjustable rear control arms could also help even out any rear inconsistencies with ride height. I love my MM arms.

Yes, those are the ones. I have these on my car and they give you decent range of adjustment. I've change my spring setup and tire sizes a few times, and have been able to adjust the stance I want with them, and level out the ride with my body weight in the driver's seat.

When you adjust them do they STAY at that height .Does vibration change your setting ? ? Looks like (from video) theres no locking device to keep em at the height you set em at.

They stay. You've got the entire weight of the car on them, so they aren't going to move. I've had mine for 10 years now.


And black. I didn't even know you could get yellow.

So will the control arm in Post #42 work ? The rear suspension is a 4 link 90 Mustang GT . Or is there cutting,drilling,welding that's needed for install ?
