personally I would get the ones with the adjustable spring perch and urethane bushings on the body side. They will work well for what you want. Then if you need to adjust your suspension for anything in the rear you can.

If you are hurting on money and want something better than stock you can at least go with latemodel's version of the MM's

You don't sound like your going to beat your car to death at the track so I think they will hold up for you just fine.

I would go coil overs first then. You can get that kit for just a little more anyway.

It is even close. I'll bet 90% of the buyers of adjustable spring perched arms are doing it to raise or lower the ride height of the car.


To the original poster. If you budget just will not allow for new arms. Find a set of used low mileage arms. There are millions of them out there as many Mustang owners installed aftermarket arms on their cars and have the stockers just sitting around.
