i went with adjustable uppers $99.00
and umi lift bars in the rear $179.00
the lift bars work so well the car used to knock second off the chain now your lucky if it gives alil sqeek...
but the drawbacks of this one is theres no rubber bushings on the umi bars so im hearing everything that the rear end does i can hear the gear whine bad no bushings to deaden the song "shrugs"......i think the guys are just running some type of solid bars on there stangs now just make sure you get a rubber or poly bushing in there somewhere the road noise will drive you nutz but it hooks nicely tit- fo- tat......just my 2 cents

I run upper double adjustable uppers. They are the ones with the 2 heim joints and come with a solid aluminum bushing for the rear. I have upr solid lowers with aluminum bushings. I also have a upr anti roll bar that I've yet to install. The anti roll bar will probably make the biggest difference.
