Upgrading my suspension on my 90 GT 5.0. It's my DD and i doubt i will take it to the track. What is the best upper and lower control arms. I was looking at UPR and BBK. Which is better? and why.

AdderMk2

neither.

Maximum Mortsports HD adjustable lower control arms, and Team Z relocated adjustable upper arms.

While I do agree with adder on those being pretty much the best uppers and lowers out there for the fox, if the car is a dd then I think you should be fine with some solid tubular or boxed upper and lowers with poly bushings. Check out 50resto.com.( aka late model restoration ) they have a full upper and lower kit with hardware for like $150 or so. Just my $.02

I concur, nothing special is needed.

heck if it doesn't ever plan to see track use, I'd leave it stock

I figured since im doing it i might as well do everything while i have things out. Late model resto is an amazing place, i get everything from there. They have a kit W/Red Lowering Springs, Subframe Connectors And Rear Control Arm Kit for $299.99. I figure id just get those. and do the shocks and struts also. Was thinking Mustang Tokico Hp Series Strut & Shock Kit. Im just trying to get some better handling out of this car without breaking the bank.

do you plan on running fatter tires in the rear?

While that kit does look good, the springs have a nice little drop BUT they have a soft spring rate as well so you have an easier chance of rubbing on tires when you hit bumps. If you really want to get a set of control arms spend the little extra on the UPR ones.

Get the FRPP C springs if you want a decent cheap set of springs.

I think you guys missed the point here... his thread is Best rear control arms?? To which I answered.

OP, you might want to consider what I posted up, for the simple fact that they are the best route to go, and it will greatly improve the way the car drives.
