I have a new power adder and will certainly need traction. Beyond drag radials - I am looking at suspension components. The car is a show/drag car... not a daily driver or course vehicle. It is NOT lowered and when I drag I replace the 20"s with the stock 17"s.

Two choices I am considering are below... Which is better for launches and occasional driving? Downsides?

UMI setup would be:

Part 1036 - Single Adjustable Lower Control Arms with grease-able Energy Suspension fluted polyurethane bushings on one end and a heavy duty Teflon lined QA1 spherical rod end.

Part 1060 - Rear Control Arm Relocation Brackets- Bolt In

Part 1047 - Adjustable Upper Control Arm with a QA1 Chrome Moly spherical rod end with TeflonŽ/KevlarŽ self lubricating race.

Part 1058 - Upper Control Arm Mount Stepped Spacers

Spohn setup would be:

Part M5-605R - Adjustable Rear Upper Control Arm with Del-Sphere Pivot Joint

Part M5-207-4130R - Rear Lower Control Arms - Tubular Adjustable with Poly/Del-Sphere Pivot Joint Combo in Chrome Moly.

No relocation brackets... or maybe the CHE or BMR or UMI ones.

No UCA mount replacement.

I work with, recommend, and use UMI parts on a daily basis. They have more options, and soon will have control arms using their roto-joints which I feel are a little better than the Spohn version since UMI uses a one-piece center section... But functionally the are basically the same.

I carry the full line of UMI parts, and as soon as the control arms for the Mustang are out with the Roto-joints I'll have them added to my site too.

If one was impatient - it looks like one could buy the #1036 Single Adjustable Lower Control Arms with greaseable Energy Suspension fluted polyurethane bushings on one end and a heavy duty Teflon lined QA1 spherical rod end AND ALSO get the #0011L and #0011R Roto-Joint Ends to make a set.

Would that work out pretty much the same functionally?

I agree that I like fewer moving parts.

Actually that won't work... that's my mistake, those ends are for the LCA's of an F-body, the Ford ones are different (I'll get those taken down ASAP.... nice catch!).

The hold up is the Ford specific Roto-joint, the bolts are different sized on the LCA's between the two cars, where as on the PHB they are the same size. That's why the Roto-joint PHB's are actually available, but the LCA's are not--yet.

I will keep an eye out for when they come out. If you have a list going for people to contact when they're available - put me on it.

I'll put some posts up when they become available!

I'd be interested in these as well if they are going to be available soon.

Sam Strano

Shouldn't be too long... I will let you guys know through a specific thread when they are ready to roll.

You guys asked me to let you know:
