Default steeda upper and lower control arms

I have a lowered 92 mustang lx and I'm thinkin about upper and lower control arms in the rear... What do you guys suggest I buy? I want my car to handle in corners as well as grip in a hard straigt-line launch. Steeda appeals to me because of their reputation but I'd like to know what you guys think.

As well as upper and lower control arms, what do u guys suggest as far as a brand of sway bars for the front and back?

hey dude you cant have both with a lowered car, for a lowered car you get better cornering but you LOSE traction in the rear and I've read that the stock ones are very good and getting a bigger size will do you nothing.

i have done research on this because i bough tcontrol arms and they were ****ty, if u want good laucnhes and excellent cornering , you will want to go with maximum motorsports lower control arms and maximum motorsprots panhard bar. if you dont go in that direction and you just get upper and lower control arms... make sure that the upper control arm bushings are not polyurethane because its really not good like some people would think since polyurethane is usually the better thing to go with. if i were you, id do the MM set up that i just listed... its good stuff, the panhard bar makes your rear axle stay in place because when your cornering the axle has up to 2" of movment which if why the stangs lose cotrol and spin out very easily. and the rear lower control arms will help you with your launching . so really you win in both situations. Also MM is def. if not the best , one of the best comapnies for suspension products on stangs. as far as sway bars are concerned. i have eibach springs and eibach shocks and struts so i just completed the package and the eibach anti roll bar kit as well. since thats not your deal, id also go with either hotchkis or MM sways. a buddy of mine has hotchkis sway and he LOVES them. MM is also an excellent choice for pretty much any suspension part you want..

and for rear control arm kit go with HPM Mega Bite Rear Control Arm kit. all fully adjustable control arms. you can set it to get 80% more traction or 110% more traction. you can order it from Texas Mustang for 455 I believe. when you are buying steeda you are paying for the name too.
