Which Control Arms?

MustangDanny · 01-07-2002, 01:19 PM

I need recommendations on what control arms to get for my 91 Notch. I guess my two criteria are lowest cost, and most improvement on 60' times.

Thanks

P.S. Also, post where you got the ones you have and how much they sell them for.

I have MAC I dont have any 60 foot times But I can tell they work Much better than the Stock ones NO more wheel Hop.. I Vote for them.

As far as I can tell, the MAC ones did seem like the best for the money (price). Anyone have experience with 60' time improvements with MAC arms?

I'd say most rear lower arms are pretty equal as long as they came from a reputable source...I use saleens myself and like them. The differences become greater when you are dealing with the adjustable units. I'd go with a unit that has grease zircs or else drill and tap them yourself.

Mine are very different arena...

But before these I was very satisfied with the Megabite Sr's.

Anyone else?

What kind of improvements should I expect with lower control arms on my 60'?

I don't have any experience with them, but I always wanted a set of UPR Pro Series adjustable uppers and lowers.
