Just installed some springs on my '94 (I'll post pics soon). Pretty nice stance & decent ride (handles corners way better & stiffer, but not too bad, same rate as H&R Sports)... Their control arms look interesting. (I wonder who manufactures them) Spherical bushings like Maximum & Global West & 3 piece poly bushings on other end. Look like MM's too. What yall think?

those LCA's look like granatellis, watch out for the spring perch. the metal used was to thin and cross threaded and froze up.

i would go with MM.

Yeah, I don't know about Granatelli's quality too much [Confused] U sure Granatelli uses all the same bushings too?

No, those control arms are made by J&M
http://www.hotpart.com/

J&M makes the control arms for Pro3i, stangsuspension, etc.

I have them and they are awesome! Both my friend and I have launched these things off the rev limiter on slicks time and time again with no problems.

I went with those because MM was a bit too pricey...

J&M has good after purchase tech support too.

Thanks for the link Luke. Definately gonna get a set of those arms with the spherical bushings. Pretty happy with my cars stance/rake right now, so I may just get the non-adjustables & save some $$. I see there subframes are identical to those at StangSuspension, too.

looks very nice. night and day difference. What's wrong with the tailpipes you have on now? I love the white on white. What color is the interior? You should slap on a S281 spoiler and remove all the decals. [patriot]

Yeah I'd like to find the exact matching headlights for em. I think they're ultra clears, not too sure, tho. They have part# KS-FR297 on em.
