Re: Fox and SN95 Mustang rear control arms
Lol...in the end it probably wouldnt amount to much if any improvement anyway. I'll just stick to the tried and true cheap routes.

That type of suspension does rely on the rubber bushings to keep it from binding as it goes through it's travel. However it's generally accepted that you only need about 1" of separation to plant the tires. You should be able to obtain that much with heim uppers and just a small amount of play in the lower sleeves. In reality though , I would think all you need in a lower class auto Stocker, is the hard poly type bushing with grease fittings. That kind of set up should last a long time. I would at least check the lower left one once in a while though.

Re: Fox and SN95 Mustang rear control arms
Here is the Baseline Suspensions Outlaw Kit installed on the 8.8, ready to go into my SN95 . Instructions, fit and finish were excellent..

Re: Fox and SN95 Mustang rear control arms
I don't believe you can move pivot points fore and aft in Stock.

It was setup to use a shorter upper control arm to change the instant center on the car. I'm going to read the rulebook again, but I do not remember where it said you cannot change the pivot point of the upper control arm at the rear end. On the car's body/chassis, yes, you cannot move that, but I am not sure about the rear end attachment point.
