you want rear control arms that have a spherical bushing on the car end and a poly bushing on the axle end, this gets rid of binding.

The Stangalator has it goin' on

The issue with the LCA's/UCA's you linked, is the binding that is already inherent in the Stang quadra-bind rear-axle. Upon articulation, the axle is asked to go one wheel up and one down. The stock arms are bad enough, but have rubber bushings and flexable arms so is BETTER in some ways than ones you have linked.

I, along with The Stangalator, recommend ***THESE*** instead:


and ***THESE***:


Now.... these WILL add NVH to your ride, but not a whole lot more than the ones you were considering. They will be not only WONDERFUL for launching, but MUCH improved cornering on the street/track as well.
