i have the edelbrock uppers, they are nice, but if i could go back i would have bought UPR or Team Z, seem a beefier where they mount to the rearend.

I have Grenatelli upper and lowers and they are great.

not a big fan of Grenatelli,upr,or bbk. I dono what to get for the uppers..my lowers are non adjustable MM's.

I have MM lower Adjustables and the Steeda STOCK boxed upper arms with RUBBER bushings. It's what MM recommends.

The steeda ones are cheaper than the Ford HD arms, and come boxed and zinced. They also come with poly axle bushings...which i sold on ebay. I used stock ford OEM rubber upper bushings.

I have MM non-adjustable lowers and Edelbrock adjustable uppers. The lowers have spherical bearings on the axle end while the uppers have spherical bearings on the chassis end (3-piece poly bushings at opposite end on all of them). Cornering is absolutely fanstastic and the ride is still acceptable.

I went with HP Motorsports (HPM). Non adjustable uppers and megabyte jr lowers.

Just go with the cheapest uppers, spend more money on the lowers.

Thats pretty stupid. Get double adjustable uppers and atleast single adjustable lowers. UPR, team Z, wolfe are all fine.

It depends on the type of driving you want to do with the car, if youre going to do any sort of road racing i'd go with frpp uppers ( its what MM suggested to me) or something with a rubber bushing to prevent binding. if youre drag racing then there are alot more options

the upper do not need to be the cheapest. i would go with both double adj if not single lowers and double adj uppers.

Tony at Astro Performance (who built my T5) told me to use adjustable uppers if you're going to lower the car a lot to maintain proper slip yoke function. Other than that, you really only need adj uppers if you plan on drag racing a lot and playing with the pinion angle.

The car will just be a weekend warrior and will see no corner carving.At the moment I will not be purchasing adj lower arms since I already have a MM set(non adj)What type of adj uppers should I get?adj?

what he said. to answer your question GET ADJUSTABLE UPPERS

i would get solid uppers so u dont have to replace the bushings later down the road. upr has solid uppers for 189.00

What i did measure the stock arms, then put the adjustable ones to that measurement and when i had my car scaled and setup the chassis shop set the pinion angle. It cant be that hard to set though
