Ah I remember reading about not needing upper control arms a while back, but I forgot the reasoning behind it..thanks for the info.
Now I am only going to buy a set of LCAs, but like I mentioned, I wanted something fairly cheap because I don't intend on making too much power or drag racing too often. Plans for about 350 wheel horsepower at most with drag radials--some street racing, not going to lie, and limited track runs since closest track is about 2 hours away!

Hrmms, I wouldnt know too much about the lower ones as I have been doing research on the ones for what my goals are 500+whp/wtq, I would guess check in with stangsuspension and see what they would recommend.

Oh and I just saw the picture, that is the same setup I will be going with mm coil overs/ta/phb/lca, how much did the shop charge you to reroute your exhaust pipes?
I have a Magnapack cat-back. The driver's side required no re-routing. The passenger side was something like $75 parts, and $150 labor.

Maximum motorsports or Steeda for reliable parts.

I have the Steeda steel u/l conrol arms. They`re more money, but they`re designed to work for DD, or racing. The bushings are designed to prevent binding or torque box damage. Good luck.

I think steeda parts are for people that like paying over priced oem parts... if you looked at their site, its more bling than go parts...

Well I made some e-mails and--->
Stangmods.com recommends Steeda nonadjustable lowers ($200)
Stangsuspension.com recommends Max. Motorsports Non. Adj. lower ($250)

Or I can get the UPR Chrome Moly Uppers and Lowers for $200 shipped
Tough decision
