Ok, I was gonna get some good LCAs but then I saw that there are things called TRACTION BARS/REAR LIFT BARS that replace lower control arms. Here's the link if anyone is interested.

And can someone educate me on these. I understand LCAs. Do these offer BETTER traction. It says they are street/strip. And can it mess up my uppers by these lift bars moving my rear in an odd way? EDUCATE ME! Thanks

Anthony

ok..those don't replace your lower control arms they bolt underneath your stock ones, they won't mess anything up. they do help with traction but you are better off getting the lakewood traction action lift bars. Go to summitracing.com they are part # LAK-21900

I think that style is for cars older than fox mustangs.

There is plenty of other lift style control arms for a fox mustang, but remember the change how the arm puts pressure on the torque boxes in a NOT good way, so the TB's need to be reinforced.

also you either have a choice of a weld in or bolt in style...but IMO with your mods i would be worrying about that LITTLE 7.5" rear you are running. Atleast i hope you are planing on upgrading.

Oh yeah, I'm building a rear definately. I won't do it until I learn more about them though. Like the purpose of c-clips, what spline axles to get, whether to get strange, auburn, eaton, etc. And then I want to retain drums and switch to 5 lug.

Well, if you build a rear, go 5 lug, 31 spline axles, c clips hold the axles in, eaton is probably best, but auburn costs less.

The bars u are looking at fox will drag on stuff. I have a friend who had them on his car and threw them away. He dragged on everything with them. Speed bumps, etc. Don't get them. I used myself traction action bars by lakewood very good product.

I had SSM lift bars on my gt and I like the traction action bars better. They hook insane. I launch at 3500 on et streets and no traction problems.

calipers have more clamping force hence......better stoping power.
