Default RE: Control Arms Anyone? Installed!!

The installation was cake, bushings went in easy and the arms bolted right up as did the sway bar. i didnt run into any snags and the test drive gave me chills. I didnt get any wheel hop when i laid some rubber down and when i got sideways i knew i was in total control. Raising and lowering the car was a piece of cake. I have the back sitting about an inch higher than the front now. I'd also like to mention that i dont have upper control arms yet and i just removed my quad shocks. Maximum Motorsports know their shat !

just a breaker bar to break the torque on the foward control arm bolt. its torqued to like 85-100ft-lbs. the rest was just normal socket and ratchet type deals.

i purchased them from stangsuspension.
