Lower Control Arms

stangfreak · October 12th, 2008, 12:34 PM

do any of you guys running weak 2.3 second 60' times ever concider getting a good pair of lower control arms? Lower control arms (lift bars) utilize axle torque to plant the rear tireas firmly into the pavement and dramasticly reduce 60'times. i've never had a foxbody run more than a 1.5 second 60'

... 1.3 short time is a stretch for just slapping on some "jegster" control arms.

Southside bars?? LOL! Those are such old technology. I wouldn't ever put a set of those things on any of my cars ever again.
