A little help with sway bars and upper/lower control arms
Hey there.... I'm trying to find the best (for my needs) combination of suspension parts that will both help with corner handling and launches at the track.
My first thoughts are a GT take-off front sway bar and the CHE fixed length LCA and UCA.
2 questions.... is it worth it to get the adjustable control arms?
Can you have a rear GT sway bar along with the LCA/UCA? Will the rear sway bar hurt launches?
Thanks!

Rygen i think said you would want the adjustable ones if it was strickly for the track and not daily driving. Daily driving you'll prolly haft to adjust them alot ( I would imagine) I have the CHE UCA and LCA's. I like them. Pretty safe to say no wheel hop on the street but I did get some wheel hop at the track last time I went but the tires I have are not too good LOL (stock BFG's). Stiffens the rear right up and they don't make a sound or really affect the ride. Real good and stable at high speeds too, a must have. Fazm put mine in, thanks to him.
As for swaybars Im not sure. We don't have a rear one so any rear swaybar would be a good improvment.

Hey Hamid! If you decide to go GT front sway, go on Ebay to Diversified Marketing's site. They are offering a package of both GT front and rear sway bars (take-offs) for $90 bucks. Tough to beat that price. And, I'm happy with mine for the price.

I don't know how to pass along the link (techno-challenged), but I just checked their store on Ebay and the front and rear sway bar package is still there, and is $89 plus $45 shipping.

Now then... does anyone know if you can use a rear sway with the control arms?

Paul.... how do you get this kind of price? Are you a Ford dealer or shop or what?
