Re: Fox and SN95 Mustang rear control arms
Here is a copy-n-paste from the 2014 NHRA rulebook:
SUSPENSION, Rear Must remain as produced, except for the following: Leaves may be points at rear end must be retained. See General Regulations 3:4.changed (added or subtracted) as long as overall length and mounting points are used. Coils may be changed (clamped or spaced) as long as stock mounting points are maintained. Solid bushings in rear suspension permitted. Cars with rear coil springs may relocate the upper control arm at rear-end attachment point. Rear trailing arms may be replaced with NHRA-accepted OEM-type aftermarket units. Aftermarket lower unit must be non-adjustable and have bushed ends (no heims). Aftermarket upper unit may be adjustable and use heim ends instead of bushings. Sway bar(s) optional. OEM or aftermarket torque arm permitted only on vehicles OEM-equipped with a torque arm.

My guess is then any lower control arm with solid bushings will do...the cheaper the better. On the hunt for the cheaper now...

Re: Fox and SN95 Mustang rear control arms
Here is my take on this subject. For rear suspension double adjustable uppers everybody makes them, both upper and lower needs to have spherical in all joints, this will make your rear suspension very free when this happens you will need to do some thing like a sway bar or others use air bags to help this. Finding lower arms with spherical bearing in both ends is rare I think BMR makes some.
