Control arms are constructed of DOM mild steel tubing 1.500” OD x 0.120” wall, 4130 chrome-moly threaded tube adaptor, completely CNC machined and fully TIG welded for outstanding strength.

The swaybar bracket is not tig welded

I wouldn't touch their stuff, it looks too much like granatelli's crap

just decide on what application that will suit you best, street/strip

Steeda LCA's are also great for street/strip duty.

maximum motorsports it is then. I have heard nothing but good things about their stuff.

i use their stuff for my T/A(LCA, Tq Arm, and Panhard bar). UMI Performance is big with F-body. I went to visit their facility(about 40min from my house), and saw their Mustang stuff, and it was Tig welded. So i don't know what that pic is all about. But if their Mustang stuff is as strong as F-Body stuff, I wouln't mind using their stuff

Maximum Motorsports has a very nice and informative website located at www.maximummotorsports.com

Remember that if you do aluminum bushings in the LCAs it will significantly increase noise and harshen the ride. Handling will be significantly improved though...

Go with the Maximum Motorsports lca's. Their stuff is the best quality. They definately stiffen up the ride alot and keep the rear planted better. The spherical bushings did increase road noise a lil bit, but if that bothers you than u shouldnt be driving a modified stang. Just turn the radio up a lil louder. The spherical bushings are better suited for street driven stangs because they still alow the rear axle to articulate unlike the poly bushings which cause severe binding.As far as the ride being too harsh, I couldnt tell because I changed my struts,shocks,springs,cc plates, upper & lower control arms, & rear bushings at one time, and the original stuff was very worn with 89,000 miles on them. So I guess you could say it got a lot stiffer, but not to where it ruined the ride quality.

I know the owner very well. And yes, they do do alot of f body stuff. They stand behind thier work really well and I have seen in person thier stuff and have driven cars with thier stuff in it and was very impressed. Just thought Id add that in, Everything is fair game, I do like the MM stuff alot though
