Fox and SN95 Mustang rear control arms

[7423]

Time to upgrade my tired and worn out off shore uppers and lowers. Looking at UPR Products chrome moly extreme series adjustable uppers and fixed bushed lowers. What do you have?? What do you like and what do you hate? Factory OE rear sway bar?
Thanks in advance..........

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.

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

we are usin adj uppers but lakewood traction action lowers . so far works great

For my street/strip Fairmont we used Kenny Brown Performance lowers and adjustable uppers, which work great.

For the Mustang stocker we're using the old Southside Machine lowers (mounted in the stock location) and double adjustable uppers. Looking into a couple of different options to relocate the upper control arm mounting point at the rear end housing to improve the instant center.
