I own a 91 Notch with full-length subframe connectors and bilsteins. It has 187,000+ miles on it and the front suspension is... well toast... I have a full K-member suspension set-up from an 89 and was thinking of swapping the two. But while I'm there, I want to do as much as I can to improve both the ride quality and handling of the vehicle. Can I switch to 99 and up front lower control arms and still use the Fox spindles? I want the better turning radius. What bushings are the most pertinent to change, and what are good one's to go with. I don't have a lot of money, so I am definietly looking for a budget solution. ALSO, the front sway bar off of a 95 GT, would it improve my handling? Thanks guys!

save up and complete ur front suspension with MM. u will never look back. the handling is incredible with their max grip package. just do it in small stages.

No to the SN95 control arms. They are wider and will push your wheels way out.

Get the new motorsport control arms. They come with improved bushings and balljoints.


The sway bar won't really help, but if you change bars, it would be best to get a matched front and rear set.

WOW those lower control arms look to be a good part to get. And I wont' go with that sway bar switch. Anything should I get in addition to the new arms and bushings? DOes anyone know anything about the X-brace that was put onto the 1993 Cobra R?

Thanks for the info!
