Rear control arms for DD

[Bosko5.0]

what are some good rear control arms for a 95vert DD i have heard good things and bad things; I dont drag race cuz nearest strip is like 75 miles away; i do like to take corners and on ramps hard and fast
what is the "best bang for the buck"?

These are what I have. Work great and are quiet. Really tightens up the rear end 'side to side' movement

I'm in the market for some LCAs for my 'vert, not sure which ones to go with either.

I dont know if you would say that there the best bang for the buck, but I love my steedas. I was in the same boat as you, my car is a DD and never sees the track but I wanted to upgrade the rear suspension and I couldnt be happyer the steedas are a great piece. good luck in your decsion

what are the pros and cons of aluminum vs. steel control arms?

Weight is the big difference. Well, price is too. For the extra $$$$ I would not get the aluminums for a DD.

How about a twist... a DD that DOES see a lot of track time. LOL

Anyone have problems with the uppers? I remember reading a coupla threads that said uppers caused a lot more noise as well. Dunno though..

 

[ProKiller]

uppers are usually not worth it. Maximum motorsports doesn't even make uppers, they tell customers to go buy the FRPP steel ones cause they don't need to be anything special. Your lower control arms do most of the work.

I have Steedas' and they work. I don't really have the experience with other brands to make a comparison

The uppers do matter ALOT, pinion angle is key to 60'
The D&D uppers are NON adj but have alotta thought behinde them so your pinion angle is in the best "all-around" angle
For hardcore racers the adj uppers are key as dialing in your suspension is a must

Uppers DO matter, although nothing wrong with the FRPP ones they to are nice.

i have these and quality is top notch http://www.partshopper.com/shop/Pro3-Mustang-Lower-Control-Arms-79-04-m176.html


their basically a copy of the maximum motorsports LCA's except cost a lot less


oh and for a street car stick with stock UCA's. and i hear the FRPP uppers are basically the same as the stock ones just more pretty

 

[JJ95GTID]

The FRPP uppers are supposed to have 50%, or something like that, stiffer bushings on the chassis side. I can't really say because I did all my suspension mods at the same time.

I fought wheelhop for a long long time with Factory and FRPP uppers with my HPM lowers. Switched to Steeda Double Adjustable uppers and all my issues were gone. I even ditched the quads, not a hint of wheel hop.

 

[JJ95GTID]

No wheel hop here. The Lakewoods have a clamp that goes around the axle tube. This helps plant the tires.
