Yeah, the strange struts and shocks are kinda expensive, but you get what you pay for. But in the long run it's always cool to say that I've got (insert brand name parts here) on my 'stang. Randy I hope your cool about the coolness of those cool shocks. I really hope that the control arms help out with traction on all season radials. Well I've got all the parts lined up that I want now, I just need the $$$!!! Thank god that I get paid tomorrow.
If your control arms are adjusted right yo should not have any worse traction than you do now.... and yes, strange is expensive, but worth it in my most cool humble opinion... [8D]

I have no clue how to adjust them and this isn't a strictly strip car, I'll be getting the non adjustables.

Are you talking about the control arms or the shocks?

Not hi-jacking the thread, but how do control arms help? Traction? Do you just switch your control arms out for aftermarket ones and viola, more traction?

They help plant your tires better on the pavement... but the adjustables have to be adjusted right or you can have problems... an with people lowering their cars an all, a little adjustment is not a bad thing either....
