i had upr upper and lower controle arms put in a few months ago...they worl great and i havnt had a problem with them...car hooks pretty good

 

I ended up buying these. I use to run SSM bars (lowers) on my ol Shebies....

 

i think i might have mentioned it before, but i have a brand new set of ford racing uppers that i never installed, sold the car instead. i also have stock ford lowers. if any of you guys are intertested send me a PM, i'm looking to sell them cheap, free shipping.

 

anyone heard of Pro3i control arms? they look like decent quality and they arent that expensive?

 

BBK & Steeda both sell a setof upper & lower for around $300 that will be an improvement over stock. MM and Lakewood have sets as well. I've actually heard some good things about the Lakewood set up

 

+1 I like Lakewood, i think Im gonna go with them for the most part

 

maybe code could come up with a group buy on this subject???

 

Ford Rear Upper Control Arms, includes chassis side bushing only, 1979-04

These Ford rear upper control arms are direct replacements for the 1979-2004 Mustang (non-IRS) control arms. They will restore performance lost to old and deteriorating rubber bushings. These control arms have the stiffest rubber bushings available, and are much stiffer than what came originally on the Fox chassis Mustangs. Although Ford Racing Performance Parts claims their bushings to be "twice as stiff" as stock, our testing has shown that while they are much stiffer than Fox chassis bushings, they are identical to the 1994-04 bushings.

We performed extensive testing of rear upper control arm bushing materials during the development of our Panhard Bar. When retaining the original four-link suspension, the best compromise between resistance to suspension bind, best control of axle position, best ride quality, and least potential damage to the chassis, is to retain rubber bushings in the rear upper control arms. This is especially important when adding a Panhard Bar. The compliance of a rubber-bushed upper control arm is required when a Panhard bar is added to the Mustang four-link suspension.

When installed on a 1979-93 Mustang, these control arms with their stiffer bushings help limit axle wind-up and side-to-side motion, but will not damage your Mustang's upper torque boxes as a standard urethane-bushed upper control arm would. See our extended technical information about bushing material choices in our Rear Lower Control Arm section.

While for 1994-04 cars these control arms offer no improvement in performance as they do on Fox chassis cars, they are a great replacement for arms with damaged or aged bushings. Because rubber deteriorates simply from age, after several years the control arms are ready for replacement. High horsepower cars and those used for track events tend to damage bushings before they can degrade from age. These replacement control arms, along with the axle end bushings, are a great way to bring back or upgrade the performance of your Mustang.

 

handy piece of info ya got there... again, has anyone heard of Pro3i control arms?
