Review of stangsuspension.com street/race LCA's

Pros:
1. Not nearly as much road noise or vibration as I thought there would be comparred to stock. Like many led me to believe was possible with aftermakrte control arms.
2. There is a significant increase in traction from a dead stop. And it seems as though these arms have eliminated my cars tendency to "chirp" tires from my 1-2 shift in my auto.
3. The rear end seems to sit down more when under a hard turning condition. No more rear end side to side feeling like with the stock arms.

Cons:
1. Harder then I expected to install but that's not the arms fault it's more ford's for putting that damn bolt inside the frame.
2. No fitting to allow greasing of the bushings while the arm is still installed in the car. I do not have any squeaking or anything of that nature atleast not yet so that isn't a big concern for me just yet if ever.

Final decision: I would do this again in a heart beat. I can't wait to try these out with the nitrous on and see if it can help me with my traction issues while on the juice.

Lower control arms really help keep the rear still and tires planted. Cant beat them for the cheap cost too.

I got Lakewood lowers and steeda uppers and it really helped the hook.
