Default Rear Lower Control Arms

If anyone is debating doing this mod, I'd just like to share my experience

Do it, not questions asked, and I would do it again in a heartbeat
(I have a 1998 Mustang GT)

I've included a few pictures of the stock rear lower control arms

The quality of these aftermarket Maximum Motorsports is ridiculously good compared to stock

I purchased the heavy duty, and they are like night and day compared to stock

Its a good mod for sure. Makes it handle better and no more wheel hop for better traction is a win/win.

on a shitty non prepped track with stock upper and lower control arms i couldnt do better than a 2.1 60ft. running the same tires with MM LCA's and steeda adjustable UCA's with my pinion angle set at negative 3* i squeezed out 1.8 60fts.

so i would guess they are a good mod.

I've got the same set except for mine being adjustable, worth it for sure.

you wouldn't think that good arms with good bushings could do so much but they do. I use MM suspension exclusively.

I have the MM rear lowers as well and they do make a nice difference. Your *** will stay planted a lot better than stock.
