Installing these tomorrow on a 1997 mustang gt I bought 2 weeks ago. And still on the same tank of gas it came with. Winter sucks.

Yes they fit a 97, he didnt list all the years.

Saved some dough on ebay on the control arms. My question is, has anyone on here Changed their control arms and did you see a noticeable launch difference. Got them for $150

I bought a 93 gt 10 years ago that had southside lowers that was like a slingshot off the line.

I welded on my subframe connectors this afternoon. And Fully welded my torque boxes and upper control arm mounts and added some extra steel welded in on all 4 points. Bought a Used Mig welder from a friend cheap a year ago. Its more that paid for itself welding stuff up for friends.

I bought this car for a weekend dragstrip car. Ive got a 2nd set of rims and some Nittos DRs on the way also.

Ive got a nitrous system to go on and i already have a big refill bottle i picked up from my Gas supply store I live 1 block from, I paid $110 for a 65lb tank.

I cant wait till spring and drag season, Anyone on here go to cecil county Maryland. And does the sunoco gas station down the street still have the 108 octane or 112?? Dam i used to love filling up with that on a 1993 GT i ad with a single intercooled Cartech turbo!! It Came with a GM knock sensor that tapped into the ford block and adjusted the timing on the ford EEC IV, The better the gas the more power. I could run 87 octane safely!. All stock block, cept oringed heads.

Sorry for Rambling too many beers tonight during the super bowl!!!

Questions for anyone with Control arm Upgrades

1. Does it affect your Lateral handleing at all.

2. Any noise or creaking?

3. Did you see a noticable launch difference?

4. Any Negative effects on the street for everyday driving?
