Sn-95 lower a arms

I have a 90 GT fox. Lookin to put sn-95 lower a arms on. Do I need to worry about ball joints, sway bar, and the rack and pinion and tie rods?

sn 95 lower arms are longer by about an inch to an inch and a half. This is going to add a decent amount of camber also the fox tie rods are to short but the longer sn95 tie rod ends have different threads and don't work with teh fox stuff. I'm pretty sure you can go with sn95 inner and outers on both sides but you still are going to have camber. another better option is the bump steer kit from maximum motorsports that allows you to use the fox inner ties and you can adjust the tie rods.

you can also look at thier camber plates

I run the Ford racing M-3075-A front arm kit ( discontinued from ford ) and the maximum motorsports camber plates ( high qaulity pieces ) with 2001 bullitt springs.

Did that give you a lot more steering angle?

I'm not too worried about camber, when you start sliding out sideways the camber helps pull the front end through anyway from what I've been told. Don't want too much though or I'll wear through my hankooks lol.

no it didn't. the longer sn95 arms give to much camber for the street trust me ( and depending on the wheel offset will be even more). use a bump steer kit. The FRPP lower arm kit I use had upgraded bushings and lower ball joints that where better than the stock fox units but used fox length lower arms. I also used the plates to have some adjustability since stock doesn't have any camber adjustment.

Oh cause I looked up online and DriftWorks put sn95 a arms on to give their fox more steering angle then took off the steering rack limiter clips to give them more angle. It didn't say anything about having to use different tie rod ends or ball joints so that's why I put up this thread

still need to change the lower ball and tie rod ends, they are different. some have done the washer method on the lower ball joints but it is better to change them. just like sn95 guys will run fox lower arms to tuck in the front wheels, they have to make changes also. not sure why rack limiters would effect angle. iether way I gave you the best answer I can. put them on and find out I guess, just going by the info I know.
