+1 Yeah, once you do aftermarket CA's, quad shocks are not needed.

I don't wish to swap control arms later on when I start meeting my planned goals for my Mustang. Under supercharged applications running somewhere between 450-500RWHP, do you feel that the Granatelli control arms will still be adequate? If not, I'll stick with the MM control arms. I just want to do everything right the first time, rather than have to swap parts out later on as the power increases.

do you also need to get aftermarket upper c/a's? or just the lower ones to get rid of the quad shocks?

Are they necessary? I have Granatelli Motorsport upper and lower CA's and I hear that with CA's the quad shocks are no longer necessary. I was looking at my new 275 BFG DR's, and I don't think they will fit in the fenderwell with the quad shocks inplace. The question here is, is it okay/safe to remove the quadshocks, and how if at all will it affect my cars driveability. I noticed while reading in MM&FF that when they tested the new GT in "stock" form, they removed the quad shocks & front sway bar, so I'm assuming it is safe, but I don't know how it will affect my cars daily driving characteritics if at all. Thanks guys!

Nice sig pic

If you only had the cash to replace the lower or upper rear control arms (CA), which would you choose and why? I am having some bumpsteer problems with my 02 GT vert and have recently replaced the rear shocks but didn't mess with the quad shocks or axle stabilizers as they are also called. My rear end kinda fishes away from me when I go over bumps in the road, especially while turning.

What do you guys recommend?

You just need lowers to 86 the quads.
