I'm undecided on what to do for upper and lower control arms. I spoke with an old friend who put MAJOR bucks into his 88 GT and got some pointers. Early in the game he installed Hotchkis upper and lowers......did nothing "his words". He now has a Gregg Performance set up.

I have stock upper and lowers. I was thinking of trying the Southside Machine upper and lower lift bars and dumping the Lakewood traction bars. Any one with any experience with these ? I installed Southside sub frame connectors on a 66 427 Fairlane I had, nice product.

I figured out what is missing, its those shocks that go on the rear suspension.....whatever they are called. This is my first Mustang so I am still learning the car. I spent all last summer on the motor so thats covered off....... I got lots of excellent advice here......
