Upper and Lower control ARM?


Well I am getting this brand from my friend, he was going to put it on his car and didn't bother cuz he's selling it.

Upper and Lower Control amr: BBK Gripp Mustang Rear Control Arm Kits , it says from the jegs website...."From their CNC machined .120'' tubing to the greasable polyurethane bushings and powder coated finish, these BBK heavy-duty rear control arms are a big help at a drag race or a canyon cruise"

and also.. subframe connector.. 94-02 Mustang, Subframe Connector w/ Seat Support
jegs says "Subframe connector kits and lower cross braces offer Mustang enthusiasts proven ways to eliminate unwanted chassis flex. Black powder coated with instructions and hardware required"

Thats what they said, what you guys got to say.. is it a good set...it's actually costing me $150, new never been used for both.

I know the price is good, is the brand good?
Thanks

BBK is good and for $150 for both upper and lower, you can't beat that price. Yeah, there are better but anything is better than stock.
I'd go for it!

I am not using this at the tracks guys/gals. Just for street..and high way, to take more control of the car and stop the fishtail, and wheel hop. I do get afarid sometimes when I take some turns espically if it got a bump or anything like that.

BBk is a good street control arm. Anything more is over kill.

What is good? There is nothing wrong with BBK. Better yet, get the Summit brand tubular arms. The name on these things doesn't mean shit. All of the non adjustable tubular arms are the same no matter what name is on the box. If you need a top name brand to make you feel like a man, get Team Z Motorsports, Wolfe Racecraft or Skinny Kid Race Cars.
