Author Topic: buying control arms blkfoxbody89 5.O Member # 8361 posted                              Are the summit racing tubular upper and lower control arms worth buying? or should I save and get adjustables? I may lower my car between 1-2" in the future. http://www.summitracing.com/parts/SUM-790000B-W/ -------------------- '89 gt '90 gt Posts: 976 | From: sacramento | Registered: Apr 2008  |  : Blind 2.3L CAFords OG Member # 3052 posted                              if you like to turn, avoid them, go for MM adj. lower arms and leave the stock uppers. -------------------- 89 LX Notchback ex 4cyl, 14psi 02 Harley F150, 15psi Posts: 8521 | From: Fairfield | Registered: Jul 2003  |  : blkfoxbody89 5.O Member # 8361 posted                              I do like to turn. but i also want a better launch.. is that asking too much ?? like the having your cake saying? -------------------- '89 gt '90 gt Posts: 976 | From: sacramento | Registered: Apr 2008  |  : Blind 2.3L CAFords OG Member # 3052 posted                              people have cut 1.3x 60' on the MM parts, the MM HD adj. arms work similar to traction bars by changing the geometry to plant the tires on a launch, they hook really hard on both of my cars. -------------------- 89 LX Notchback ex 4cyl, 14psi 02 Harley F150, 15psi Posts: 8521 | From: Fairfield | Registered: Jul 2003  |  : blkfoxbody89 5.O Member # 8361 posted                              DAMN, that's a great sixty!
