Topic: Lower Control Arms.

i'm planing on buying lower control arms in a month or two.
So far, i've heard that the maximum motorsport adjustable ones are the best? they are pretty expensive though..
what's the difference between the adjustable ones and the standard MM ones? i mean.. other than the ability of adjusting the height of the rear? does it change the angle? are the adjustables even worth it?
What about upper control arms? which ones are the best to get?
Thanks a lot.

the adjustable ones let you adjust the rear ride height. if you dont need that feature, just get the regular ones and some fms uppers

this is supposed to be my daily driver, however.. i really don't drive it daily and will mostly be my track car since i'll probably get my first non-mustang automobile by the end of this year.
so.. so far getting the standard MM lower control arms and upper FMS is the way to go??
thanks.

Jersey,

You should have came by our shop yesterday for the Fall Fordfest. The Maximum Motorsports Reps were on hand to answer your questions.

I would get the Maximum units and just the Ford Uppers. You do not want to get Uppers which have stiff bushings or your car will have binding. If you want the Maximum units we have them in stock.

I have had great results with my HPM mega bites. Ive heard great results from the steeda ones that you can ajust the spring perch height with a wrench without having to remove anything, raises and lowers the rear to fit slicks
