If you don't have wheelhop, and most lowered cars don't.. then LCA's are not necessary. What's more is that the hop went away when you lowered it. Putting LCA brackets on, and leveling the arms such as they were stock can well cause it to return.
If you want to upgrade handling you want to look at things like the dampers (shocks and struts), swaybars, PHB or better a Watts link, STB, adjustable endlinks, that sort of stuff. LCA's are not really a help in comparison.

Ok Im new here to the mustang forum, But why wouldnt you not want to go to a harder bushing than rubber? Rubber flexes , Sure it gives you a smooth ride but lacks in performance If you can get something with little or no play it will be far better. I do know ot will transfer more noise, But the trade off exceeds the problem. Bushings are cheap just takes time to install.

And a problem is only one if the owner feels it is. I mean, if someone is happy with stock power (for instance), the doesn't need a blower even though you might think it's a must have. Parts are like pills. I say that a lot, because it's what I think. You shouldn't take antibiotics for a sprained ankle, right?

Because there is no free ride in the world. Urethane bushings are cheap, and flex less... but then they also cause bind in certain locations (like the LCA's) which hurts ride and axle articulation. Urethane also cold-flows and as much as folks think they do, they do not last forever. You can run rod-ends, but they can be noisy.
