Lower Control Arms. A good set will go a long ways in helping you hook up and go and you should also get some sub frame connectors while you have money

If I was you, I would buy both upper and lower as a kit.

That's what I have. 300 bucks right there.

i agree with the upper and lower control arms.. and then wait a few weeks and get springs,., and then a few more weeks and get an anti sway bar...and then a few more weeks and get the k member. It is called the snowball affect, it happens to all people who own a mustang.

nope you can get the uppers and lowers for around 400.

also check out zmotorsports.net and baselinesuspensions

all the companies above are very good. i think i am going with zmotorsports for my uppers and maybe wolfe for my lowers still not sure yet

Add about $300 more and you can have Metco uppers and lowers. I think they are awesome. Havn't been to track yet, but i can do a wheel stand on fresh asphalt. Of course there are a lot of other parts i have to compliment these control arms.
