New Edge has more rear suspension travel, and many arms make a distinction between 98 and 99. Haven't actually compared them side by side, though.

From my understanding, the bolt holes are a different size in the bushings from 94-98 and 99-04. Other than that, they are the same.

Also, I would strongly suggest not buying Granatelli. I have seen way too many threads about Granatelli's horrible products (i.e. bad welds, thin tubing, etc.). They are cheap, but there is a reason for that. Get a quality product like Maximum Motorsports or Steeda.

Agreed, a friend of mine on another forum bought the Granatelli LCA's and the welds were extremely bad. He sent them back and now has MM parts...you get what you pay for!

Not to **** anyone off but dammit.

ALL 1994-2004 MUSTANG'S ARE SN95!!

New edge is a design styel quote not a body style or platform title!!

I've never personally had any issues w/ Granatelli, between the 5.0 or the 4.6.. Maybe I got lucky..


But true, the control arms should be fairly universal from 1979-2004, since they didn't change the format of the suspension... Maybe the bushings, or bolt sleeves could be different, but in terms of geometry, the suspension should be the same..

my BBK control arms also appear to have been welded by the blind children of a malaysian sweatshop.
