Do control arms really help 60" times??
 
I thinking about buying some new upper and lower control arms to help my 60" times (2.2's), the MAC pieces seem reasonably priced but will they help my 60" times??? I already have subframe conectors. Suggestions?????? I need the holeshot badly because my buddy just got new gears for his 1998 Cumaro.

The lowers are more important and I would concentrate on them and save your money on the uppers. Theres a lot of very fast mustangs out there with factory uppers.

Yes, control arms make a big difference on traction, but its a package deal, you need to get sticky tires too, the suspension pieces change the suspension only, you still need tires as that is what is in contact with the road.

This is exactly what i was wondering, im looking into the mac (non adjust) upper and lower, about 279$ i think, with my e.t. streets would it help me achieve a low 1.8?

I was wondering the same thing. Actaully, I was also wondering what kind of times are possible on street tires....

I have never really liked slicks, and I would be willing to spend more for suspension and tires if I could get a very stron E.T.

Also, is the reason why stangs have trouble at lower E.T.s without slicks just because of their high amount of torque?

Thanks,
