Default beefin up my suspension

Ok i know this has been over asked and is prob gettin annoying, But.... i want control arms cuz 400 hp on stock suspension is pointless, what should i look into?
I already have Full length sub frames, I'm lookin at lower control arms, but there are so many different companys i dunno who to go with. What have ppl had the most succes with?

anything but GMS.
seriously if you plan on drag racing atleast get double adjustable uppers, solid lowers are fine. UPR's are nice for the price. MM are good to but can get expensive.

quite a few people have full gms control arms and are running a good amount of hp although the only person i can think of off hand is Code, I know there are a few more.

check out baseline suspension. We just did a set up on a buds MACH...VERY nice stuff. As far as GMS, it's a crap shoot. I haven't had any problems with mine.

I've had GMS fall apart on me and many others have to. I've had an issue with GMS and the company that sold them to me, musclemotors and I'll never give either another penny of my money. If they would have resolved the issue I would not be saying this.

I'm sure the other suspension companies are fine but Maximum Motorsports specializes in Mustang suspension. Trust me, you won't find better parts anywhere else. Just take a peek at their website and read about their products. I just redid my entire rear end set up (subframe connectors, upper and lower control arms, panhard bar, rear brakesand torque arm) on top of all my existing driveline/suspension mods and I am very impressed.

EDIT: I just checked out baselines website and it looks like primarily do drag racing set ups. I could be wrong but thats the impression I got. maximum motorsports is more road racing oriented imo. Just wanted to fill you in.
