Debatable. Personally I'd stick with fixed lower control arms and get an adjustable upper instead. Then you have a single point to adjust the pinion angle from.

I'd look at J&M control arms, they have come up with a really good design that won't bind like the typical ones, and they're less expensive than any I've seen. Mine were $115 for the lowers. Go to Hotparts.com or EBAY and look for yourself. These have really caught on with the GT500 crowd.

http://www.stranoparts.com is about 15-20 min down the road from me. I gave him a call today and talked to him for like 45 min. really really nice guy. and i tell ya what. he knows his stuff when it comes to mustangs. He has a 07 GT for a daily driver and one for a track car. he also teaches driving schools and uses the GT's. So tomorrow i am going to see him and check out his cars. I will let you guys know what comes of it. But the general idea is that since i am lowering my car soon that i should just lower it 1st and most of the hop will go away. what is left we can stop with LCA's or brackets.

ordered my drop kit from Strano. Leaving for FL monday so won't get it on till i get back. But if anyone needs some GOOD advice on what to get as far as suspension related things you should call him. Really nice guy and he sure knows his stuff. He even let me drive his 07 GT with Koni's on it so i could see the difference. I tell ya what, the GT stock suspension is ok, but with just some shocks it is a TOTALLY different car.. Worth a thought if you drive bumpy roads or auto cross.
