Default J&M vs. MM

What's up guys. Debate time. I'm going to be getting some suspension stuff soon and have been doing a lot of research. I'm getting nonadjustable LCA's for sure. I have heard very good things about both J&M and MM pieces. I can get the J&M a lot cheaper and am leaning that way.

I want to know what you all think though. Who's used J&M? MM? Goods, bads, uglies. Go!

Why'd you get the adjustable over non?

I have the J&M LCA's really helped my traction issues and seemed to keep the rear end planted and more stable. I have MM sub frames though, which were awesome too

bop.... the question is not which company, but what design?

To install an LCA, and especially a UCA, without at least one spherical bearing is just plain dumb on a DD ride. The Mustang 4-link already has enough binding/articulation issues present and to create additional just doesn't make any sense.

Links to the J&M LCA's you are considering? I don't need links to MM, as ALL of them are gonna meet The Jazzers seal of approval

Ya.... the ONLY J&M LCA's I see that I would recommend one install is...



'79~'98 or '99~'04 (check appropriate box)

I was not aware they had an arm with a spherical bushing. BTW, bop... be sure to understand that with nearly all suspension mods, comes NVH. Won't get a whole lot with the above, but some for sure.
