Gonna end up doing the same setup on the Wife's GT & shoot for better than the current 1.5 60fts. Of course this is more drag strip oriented (better control arm geometry & easy adjustment), but it's also perfectly streetable. -------------------- www.advancedenginedevelopment.com SCT dealer Dynotuning (916)715-7569 Posts: 4266 | From: Fair Oaks, CA | Registered: Nov 2000  |  : STREETFIGHTER50 unregistered posted                       interesting read up on global west's control arms & maximum motorsport's control arms. i thought these were the same, but i guess their bushings are totally different from everyone elses. although between these two, their spherical bushings are placed on opposite sides check out the links: http://www.globalwest.net/Mustang_rear_control_arms.htm http://maximummotorsports.com/rlca.asp :
