What are the benefits of installing rear upper and lower control arms?

upper helps with side to side movement of the rear mostly, and helping the car launch straight. lowers help with traction and wheel-hop

Most definitely. I'm ordering mine as of the first of the year. Makes a huge difference. You can find uppers and lowers I think for $150.

Just out of curiousity, do you know how much it will cost to get them installed, or are you doing the work yourself?

I have a friend who was a Ford Mechanic for over 10+ years. He opened up his own shop so I'll probably have him do it but I'll give him a hand just so I know how to do it for next time if I get a different car.
