Any preference for one trailing arm over another? I want to go ahead and order a set ti minimize wheel hop and not sure which would be the best for me. Advantages or disadvantages of one over the other?

I DEFINITELY would NOT recommend installing lower trailing arms on a 2005 Mustang!!!! It doesn't have them stock and it doesn't need them either! The factory installed lower control arms are ok without the need for any lower trailing arms!

Sorry, I had to post that....

Personally, I have pretty much convenced myself that I will be installing the BMR lower control arms. I want the fixed length job with the polyurethane bushings at both end. I just don't see the need for a spherical rod ends on a street car other than "cool" factor. For the price, the BMR arms are VERY hard to beet.

If you want more flash, the billet jobs look VERY nice. But for 3 times the cash, they don't actually perform any better. (based on the various posts that pretty much all the aftermarket arms fixed the wheel hop problem).
