Yes I know buying new ones is the best way to go and some think it is not worth the time to box the stock lowers in but I am a cheapskate .
Have any of you accually boxed yours in and see if it helped? I know this little secret is in one of the mustang cheap performance guides and is supposedly good up to 400hp (how they measured that info who knows). I will eventually get new ones but that is in the future but I want something better now.

Thoughts?

I guess it can't hurt. The metal used in the stockers is rather cheap. Give it a shot. Not like it's that hard of a project to do anyway.

How about your sway bars? I've boxed in other peoples control arms where they had to use original suspention parts. Works good if you put in some quality bushings

I was going to try it, but on removal I saw how flimsy they really are, and bought BOI tubulars

I boxed mine and put in energy suspension bushings...works great. You just have to cut out around the rear sway bar if you want to keep it. In fact, I still have my boxed uppers on my car with some adjustable spring pirch lowers and I am vey happy. The only reason I would change them is to get some adjustable uppers to adjust pinion angle.

Well at least I am getting good answers unlike some of the threads in the search option lol. I am gonna leave enough of a space to slide the sway bar back up into it them. I was looking into all the torque box and battle box reinforcements last night and was thinking of what else I could do for really cheap. I figured new poly bushing would help out alot if not more than boxing the control arms but I figured might as well do it too.

Yeah my stock swaybar broke and my new Summit 1" fits on the inside of the CAs, instead of inside.
