Default control arms to finish the project

just ordered strange adjustabel shocks,hotchkis sport suspension caster/camber plates, ford mustang lowering springs,Strange externally adj. shocks . Also 79-93 BUMPSTEER KIT, STEEDA, GOLD . Now the question I have is on control arms. I have searched the site. But not sure the difference between tube and box contstuction. I have looked into

Hotchkis Adjustable Upper and Lower Contol Arm Kit for 1979-1998 Mustang. and Hpm Mega bit upper and lower control adj. Also a set from Steeda. Any input would be great.

Im not planning to take it to the stip in the near future. But do want to plan for the future so I dont need to rebuy parts.

thanks

check out maximum motorsports they have a lot of information. i have a full setup waiting to be put on too. after reading their(maximum)site i decided to go with their lower arms and ford racing uppers. i'm also changing my differential side bushings back to rubber, since i had previously changed them to poly.

Boxed arms are going to be a bit stronger and consequently flex less. That's a good thing. The Megabite Jrs are a great choice. Dillon, why are you switching back to rubber?

OK thanks boxed it is and will check out upr. Is it worth it to go with adjustable if I will not be spending to much time at the track?

i switched my upper arms back to ford racing ones with rubber bushings and rubber bushings in the differential side. there was way too much bind and it was harsh. everywhere i read said not to use poly in the uppers but i did anyhow. glad i switched back. put on h and r springs and tokico illuminas, man it rides awesome now.
