For those with Upper/Lower Control Arms...

the real shocker · Sep 17, 2007

I just ordered mine....

did anyone do any before/after track times to see differences?

im consistently getting 2.0 60'..... im hoping for 1.9 or possibly a 1.8 on my street tires :banana

GTsetGO · Sep 17, 2007

with stock C/A, my best 60ft was 2.1 and my best after replacing them is 1.7

03_StangGuy · Sep 17, 2007

that a pretty good improvement. What do the control arms change that improve your time, i know its the traction but how does it do it?

00vabchgt · Sep 17, 2007

they don't flex the way stock control arms do

raceruler03 · Sep 17, 2007

I mean what kind of improvement would these do?

Which control arms did you get?

do they change the ride quality at all?

i have not heard of anyone saying they do? :dunno I have heard some make a little rattle noise... Supposedly with these Polyeurothane bushings, they are not supposed to, or it will be minimal

HMUSN · Sep 17, 2007

they make the ride a bit bouncer

ChrisJ · Sep 17, 2007

They tighten the ride up nicely...Nothing major...You might see a half inch body raise in the rear...

i could tell my burn outs are way smoother and cornering was a little better when i installed mine ,,you might want to invest in some new polly axle housing bushings while you replacing the controll arms

Before I got mine in my 60' times were averaging about 1.9's and after I haven't been slower than a 1.85, average is around 1.7x's. Mine are from Steeda, but I am sure they all do the same thing.

Like someone already said, they don't flex like the stockers do and that helps eliminate wheel hop. I used to get it really bad during burnouts and on the 1-2 shift. Now I haven't had any since. I'm happy with that investment!

what tires are you running?

raceruler03 · Sep 18, 2007

so which brand is the best one to buy, I am assuming tubular would be the best

03_StangGuy · Sep 18, 2007

How do the adjustables help opposed to non adjustable and how hard is to tune that setting?
