Lower control arms, a several brands, shapes and options oh my
I'm considering lower control arms for the beast.
We have ;
- BMR (at 129.00$ on brenspeed)
- Steeda
- GMS
- FPRR
- BBR
- Metco
- Tube
- square
- Billet
- Steel
- bushings on both ends
- bushing on one end and rod end on other
- rod ends on both sides
- adjustable
- non-adjustable
Is there one that is better than the other?
Which combo is best?
I'm going to go with bushings on both ends to avoid noise but what about the remaining options? Is square better than round? billet better than steel?
Does it matter?
The square bushing ones on brenspeeds site are like i mentioned 129.00, are these worth it? Red really isn't a color to stick on a blue mustang but who's gonna see it anyway right?
I wouldnt THINK it would matter but if it didn't matter there wouldn't be several options to chose from???
Just trying to make a somewhat meaningfull post with a little humor in the formatting.

Doing burnouts and going straight...if that's your goal, pick some full adjustable model. Each car is slightly different in which way it wants to go when you drop the hammer. Mine goes about 15° Right and I counter steer and smile and wave, so I'm happy. I am still on the stockers. I love the Moto Blue style (polished I-beam with cutouts and blue bushings) which are NOT adjustable.
So...sexy or sophisticated?

I'm oddly enough addicted to road coarses more than 1/4 mile.
After trying a road coarse, I'm convinced that it's more fun and you get more track time for your dollar.... and it's a ton of fun.
I'm thinking non-adjustable since i dont do much quarter mile.
I did have a light to light encounter when i first got my car and my cars rear kicked out to the right about 15 degrees too and then snapped back into place... after i hit second gear.
that 129.00 is kinda appealing as long as they would do the job.
I looked at the stock ones and they look like i could bend them with my bare hands, very flimsy looking.
