MM

They look ok. However i would recomend a set from Maximum motorsports. They are a well known company and make excellent suspension parts. I have a set of the adjustable lowers on my car and they work great. www.maximummotorsports.com

i would recomend spending a little bit more and getting these ones http://www.partshopper.com/shop/Pro3-Mustang-Lower-Control-Arms-79-04-m176.html

their pretty much a copy of the maximum motorsports version. i just bought a set and the way i look at is you get what you pay for, and with a major component like a control arm you dont want to cheap out and 3-4 monts down the road have your car fall apart because you saved $50-60. you can also get them with the 3piece race bushings. very nice piece IMO

many people run the stock rear upper control arms and just "box" them for added strength and add new OEM bushings

because of our rear suspension design when you use poly bushings and a really stiff upper arm you get problems with binding.

Go for MM lowers and FRPP uppers! Great for a street/strip car.

I got ones that are pretty similiar. DON'T WASTE YOUR MONEY! They made my rear sway bar hang down LOWWWWW. I had to highly modify it to look acceptable. Just get some steeda ones, thats my recommendation. "Solid" aluminum lowers, "adjustable" uppers, all with bushings for street use. Just my 2 cents!!!

Why FRPP Uppers? They're the same as Stock Uppers..
