Smile REAR UPPER AND LOWER CONTROL ARMS

I RECENTLY INSTALLED A SET OF MAGNA UPPER AND LOWER CONTROL ARMS ON MY 90 GT AND IM NOT HAPPY WITH THEM. FIST OF ALL THE LOCATION FOR THE COIL SPRING ISOLATOR ON THE LOWER CONTROL ARM DOES NOT ACCEPT THE STOCK SIZE. SECOND THE SWAY BAR IS NOW 4 INCHES LOWER AND ABOUT 2 INCHES AWAY FROM THE STOCK LOCATION. AND LAST BUT NOT LEAST THE KIT DIDNT COME WITH THE BUSHINGS FOR THE AXLE. IM GOING TO TAKE THEM BACK AND BUY SOME OTHER BRAND, AND WAS WONDERING WHO I SHOULD GO WITH. PLEASE HELP ME MAKE THIS DECISION, I WOULD GREATLY APPRECIATE IT.

Thumbs up

I've had good luck with the Factory Five Arms. I think they still sell for $199.00 for uppers and lowers. They build them to order so expect some delay.

When I installed mine I didn't have any of the issues you described. They didn't come with the upper axle bushings but I don't think any of them do.

What kind of driving do you do? If you're looking to auto-x or road race, look for an arm with a spherical bearing. Try www.maximummotorsports.com If you're looking to drag race there are several good names out there. I like mine and they work well on the street an for straight line stuff
