I would not get them.

They will be an improvement over your stock ones for straight line launching, but NOT soo much for corners. In fact, they will be WORSE than stock in some ways.

Here is a copy/paste from earlier today:


There are some real fundamental issues with the Ford Sn95 quadra-bind suspension out back on your (our... but not mine ) rides. The LCA's/UCA's don't allow proper articulation of the rear axle so recommend the following items to address this:

'79~94 Adjustable Lower Control Arms


'79~94 Adjustable Upper Control Arms


Now.... these WILL add NVH (Noise Vibration Harshness) to your ride, but so will ANY good aftermarket LCA/UCA with poly/poly bushings. These have a spherical end which will allow the articulation (one wheel up in well, the other one down and out of well) of rear axle for MUCH better cornering of your ride. These will afford not only MUCH better "power to the ground" but ALSO better contact with the road surface when cornering on the street or track.

There is a much higher step to take if interested, so let me know.

HTH

I say pass. Save up a little more money and get a set of brand new ones.
