best arms for me

Mustang RacR94 · July 12th, 2008, 10:42 PM

looking for best lowers for my Mach. Mainly track oriented. But ss long as they don't break anything on the road were good.

Looking at steeda aluminum drag arms or weight jackets. Thanks

Some have experienced great traction with the extreme duty MM LCA's. I on the other hand don't have the experience with these, but over at the registry they love them.

Weight jackers. thats what I am lookin at getting as well. You will get more traction upgrade from good uppers though. Some double adjustable uppers with billet or spherical bushings

futureMACH1racer · July 12th, 2008, 11:43 PM

Both of you guys do yoursleves a favor. Get HPM Megabytes, or Megabyte jr's, they're a race quality part and reasonabley priced. I have them, and love them.

Mustang RacR94 · July 12th, 2008, 11:53 PM

So the weight jackets are better then the all out aluminum drag arm? And as far as uppers go I don't know why I didn't put them in the post as well. What about the steeda heavy duty uppers or what ones are the best on the market. By the end of winter I'll be sorting long tubes/upper lower arms/built rear/aluminum DS. Stock one is looking rough for no reason. A tubular K member when I do the long tubes. And hopefully ago shocks and struts and frame ties. But well see how it all goes

I missed where you said you want all out race setup. the weight jackers are great so you can keep a nice lowered stance on the street then jack em up to clear a big set of slicks. they are all realy good. And FM1R I am dead set on the weight jacker lowers for the adjustability, and I am realy looking at the GMS double adjustable uppers.

Mustang RacR94 · July 13th, 2008, 09:53 AM

I'm not dead set on a full race setup. As long as the weight jackets hook up to prob around 500 600 horse. I plan ok making this thing a gross car down the road

futureMACH1racer · July 13th, 2008, 02:36 PM

The HPM Megabytes, allow for full adjustability like the weight jackers. I'm just trying to help, I know that they work. It's what all of the cars that come out of D&D run.

thanks man I'm def considering these now. Great help man. As soon as I get back to my comp gonna give ya rep(hard to do on iPhone sometimes)

I just got the BBK upper and lower package for $300. (haven't gotten to use them yet, had some problems on the way out to the track) but I heard that most of the aftermarket control arms are almost identical. There's really not that much to change. If I had extra money laying around I would get the HPMs for sure though.

futureMACH1racer · July 13th, 2008, 07:40 PM

Anybody here ever use the Ford Racing CA's?
