I purchased the UPR upper and lower control arms.
these are the upper control arms

Now i heard something about people not recommending getting upper control arms with Urethane (can't spell) bushings
should i sell those and then get these

p.s.

I don't want this car for drag racing it will be a road racer.

from what ive been told and read urethane is fine on the chasis side of the car, but where it mounts to the top of the rear end it should be rubber

If you reenforce the torque boxes you don't have to worry about using rubber. Those other control arms are adjustable so you can set the pinion angle and have spherical bushings.

those top ones are what i made for my car except i used a harder plastic and it ripped the metal on the chassis side im gonna replace them wih sperical bushings soon. i can imagine road racing would put a ton of stress on those areas.

I suggest you take a look at these adjustable control arms made by JDI Performance Inc. and read what they have to say about them. You might save yourself some cash if you mant to go this route. Take a look at some of his other stuff he sells. I know some of you are hesitant with ebay but I don't think you can beat these prices. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/aw-cg...tem=8062218660 I know people with JDI products on their mustangs and they can't say enough about the durability and performance. There's my $0.02

Thanks for the help guys. The reason I'm asking is because I'm going to be ordering a Panhard Bar

and Maximum Motorsports says:

"Do NOT use urethane in the upper arms to improve the side to side motion of the axle. Because of the three dimensional movement of the upper arms, severe binding will be induced as the suspension moves--with or without a Panhard bar. This effect may not be evident in a drag-only car, but if you plan to drive the car on the street at all, we do not recommend urethane in the upper arms"



So am I supposed to use Spherical Bushings or just rubber bushings or a solid control arm? I'm not sure what they mean by this.

Well if you going to get that you might as well get the track link also, it completly eliminates the need for upper control arms. You just have to get it with the springs they recommend since its designed to work at a certain spring rate

Do you mean this?
