Anyone know what control arms I can use on a 2000 stang to get wider in the front? What about narrower?

I'm building a circle track race car and looking to get most of my caster and camber adjustments from the lower control arms and fine tune with the stock adjustments on the strut tower. Didn't know if fox body lowers were shorter and if any other ford lowers would be longer but same bolt pattern. Probably nothing out there but thought I'd ask people that would most likely know

I'm lost. Are you asking about fox parts or sn95 parts??

Either one really. I have a sn95 and wondering what other lowers will work on it

Apparently my ex-husband made that mistake.

Fox arms are shorter and reduce your track width. 03-04 Cobra arms don't widen your track width, but they move the wheel center forward for more camber and better control. The track width on a stock SN95 is more than adequate. The oversteer problems come from the back. Buy a Steeda rear roll bar (it's actually a yaw bar, but nobody know the difference), and it will correct your understeer with proper adjustment.

Good info. Thank you. So you gain camber and not width? How does that happen? Or do you mean caster?

I'm sorry, that was a typo. They increase our caster, not your camber.

I question the validity of the assertion that Cobra arms reposition then wheels relative to any other SN95 arm. I've always understood that dimensionally, all SN95 arms are the same. The magic of the Cobra arms was always better bushing material and more clearance on the back side of the arms for better turning clearance with wide wheels. But they are wider than the 87-93 arms.

The only arms that might be longer than SN95 are SVO or 82-83 Lincoln Continental arms, which are purportedly 1/4 inch longer than SN95's.
