Fox and SN95 Mustang rear control arms

[HandOverFist]

As I'm just starting a O/SA build I would like to hear about these things as well since I have zero experience with the Fords Charlie.

I've been eyeballing the Maximum Motorsports adjustable lowers...thinking it might be handy to be able set ride height with the springs. I really have no clue as to whether it would be beneficial tho...I have not even decided between 26" or 28" tires. Does a rear sway bar make much difference in these Mustangs at these power levels?

I was thinking any adjustable upper control arm would be fine, but again I am just guessing at this point. You use these to set pinion angle, right?

Lower control arms cannot be adjustable. Global West makes a nice lower, and the uppers can be adjustable, Team Z, Wild Rides, and UPR have nice ones.

We've used the UPR ones on so many different class Mustangs with great results. I'm currently gathering parts for my Fox body stocker and it will wear UPR rear suspension components.

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.

Pricey, but very nice... http://www.cjponyparts.com/bmr-rear-...-1998/p/LCA39/

I would love to spherical bearing on the lowers, but once again, if you get a tech guy with a stiffy, you will wish you had bushings and a grease gun.

A couple of rings of soft rubber on the outside and ..ah never mind...I didn't say it.

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.

By adjustable I meant the spring perches, not in length. Would these be legal? Are you guys using a sway bar on the rear?
