Default Trailing Arms???

Hey all.... Well instead of building a 347 i have desided to go with a new stang... I am thinking along the years of an 88-92 and have found a couple good deals that i am going to look in on... I was wondering which trailing(control) arms i should go with??? I am going to do complete suspention and drivetrain to geat a good start.... I am going to go with the eibach launch springs, lakewood drag shocks (70/30 front and 50/50 rear), front tubular k member and a arms... So which arms should i go with?? i was thinking about going with the hotchkis rear trailering arm kit from jegs for $351.99 Click Here... I am open to suggestions on any of the above though...

Thanks in advace...

well im just asking cause i dont know too much about the a arms, but sounds like a good setup, i need to get the tubular k up front in mine and try to pull both tires off the ground. but as for upper and lowers in the rear..... these are a little better priced http://www.blueovalindustries.com/control_arms.htm. a few people use them on the forums like mdvaldosta and jdaniel and they say they work great for the price. i dont know if i have aftermarket control arms or not, but i have traction bars.
