well if you have POS tires then what for? also, there is a lot to be broken in the rear if not done right. just control arms..dunno man, but it will always be better than just stock <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#f7f7f7"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> <b>87mustang</b> <br /><small>Member # 2496</small> </font></td> <td width="82%"> <font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial"> <img src="https://californiafords.com/ubb/posticon.gif" border="0" alt=" - " /> posted <script language="JavaScript1.3" type="text/javascript"> document.writeln(timestamp(new Date(2004,1,24,18,6,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><hr /> </font> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> well as far as suspusion on my car gos is stock, and i have posi and run m/t streets (if i get non ajustible control arm how would it brake the rear end?) <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#dedfdf"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> <b>Jeff S</b> <br /><small>Member # 371</small> </font></td> <td width="82%"> <font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial"> <img src="https://californiafords.com/ubb/posticon.gif" border="0" alt=" - " /> posted <script language="JavaScript1.3" type="text/javascript"> document.writeln(timestamp(new Date(2004,1,24,18,51,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><hr /> </font> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> </font><blockquote><font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial">quote:</font><hr /><font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial">Originally posted by 87mustang:<br /><strong> well as far as suspusion on my car gos is stock, and i have posi and run m/t streets (if i get non ajustible control arm how would it brake the rear end?) </strong></font><hr /></blockquote><font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial">The adjustability of the control arms will not do anything what will break the rear end. They will simply allow you to set your pinion angle and set preload if you wish. What WILL break your rear end it HARD launches which the control arms will help you achieve.<br /><br />Regardless though if you are running even the STOCK rear suspension and a set of slicks your rearend is on borrowed time.<br /> <br /> <small>[ February 24, 2004, 06:52 PM: Message edited by: Jeff S ]</small> <br /> </font> </td></tr> </table></td></tr></table> <br /> <br />
