2011 Kona Blue

Darn you AM and the mustang forums. I just broke down and purchased a pair of J&M lower control arms. These got amazing reviews. I did not get the adjustable LCA's because I have no desire to lower my stang. After talking with AM reps online they really emphasized how the lower control arms is going to improve the off line explosion with reduced wheel hop and keeping the car straight. The rep was a huge fan of the J&M products for the price and quality.

My wife is not going to be pleased at all in fact she gonna hit the roof when the package from AM arrives. She was not happy last week when AM delivered my tail light tint, side marker tint and third brake light tint. Not happy indeed but guess what fellas. I don't care that much. Lmao.

I'm already running 4.7 0-60 mph so hopefully the LCA's can get me down to 4.6 with better traction it provides.

Sorry, My bad.

I know the feeling of waiting for a response from the wife, when packages arrive.
I have my rear sidemarker tints coming in today. They were on sale for 11 bucks!
I was pulled over last week for my tail lights, I told FHP that they came out of the factory this way, he said cool, took some pictures and let me go, but I changed my mind on the rear end tints. Are you talking about the one that goes in between the brake lights? Or the ones on the bottom of the bumper?

I just ordered a coffee.

Yep the side markers were on sale for 11 bucks. The tail light tint was also on sale. There is cut outs on the tint for the reverse lights and the tail lights don't block the light when on. There really isn't any issue with it that I can see. The 2013 tail lights come blacked out and yet you can see the tail lights and brake lights. Here are the tail light tint and side marker tint I ordered.

Spherical or poly, and even without a lowered car the advantage of adjustable LCA's is that you can fix any rear toe that may come from the factory.

I have these.. all around. the only lights not covered at this point are the headlights and fog lights lol. They very nice, and definitely still allow the light through them. including the back up lights

i have a set of those tail light tints sitting in my garage i would have sent you. ford replaced one of my tail lights under warranty so i ordered another set of tint to put it on the new tail light but they ended up ordering the tint and putting them on the new one all under warranty.

Oh wow, I may need them if I f up the install. Lmao

So I am planning on getting some lca but not sure which way to go. There are the spherical or poly. Grease or non grease. Adjustable or non. Relo bracket. $100to $350. I'm looking at steeda, bmr, stallion. Are the lca that are 250 to 350 better and worth the extra cost over a $150 or so lca.
Also, I haven't lowered mine yet but I might lower it a few months. So, if I do lower the car then I would need an adjustable lca or would relocation brackets be ok. I don't want to but a non adjust and then lower the car to find out I need adjust lca.
Anyone check out the full bmr suspension setup or Kenny brown setup ?

I got the poly non adjustable LCA's and the grease came in packets with them. If your gonna lower your car definitely go with an adjustable LCA's.

MDkid92

what suspension stuff do you already have installed? Are the lca's definitely needed or suggested when lowering.

southcarolina12

they are pretty much a mustang if you race. im ordering a set this afternoon and then going to order upper control arm and bracket probably now weekend.

2011 Kona Blue

I don't have crap in the way of suspension stuff. Lol. I have my lower control arms and a Boss strut tower brace.

Based upon the added power I have added to the car, I was having some wheel hop issues when nailing it from a dead stop. Problem solved after installing the LCA's. Wheel hop is gone. My opinion is the LCA's are well worth the money if you want less wheel hop and faster acceleration from a dead stop, LCA's are definitely worth the money.

One thing to keep in mind is that while the sphericals will offer a slight advantage from a handling standpoint, they will wear out FAR faster than a properly greased & maintained poly (or even rubber, which is used on the LCAs found on the BOSS 302R) bushings.

If one gets 10k miles out of sphericals with little to no track use, that would be considered a long life.

2011 Kona Blue

How does one properly maintain the poly bushings on their aftermarket LCA's. I loaded my bushings up with grease when I put them together. Lol..

southcarolina12

just keep them greased.

2011 Kona Blue

So, how often does one have to remove the LCA'S off the car and grease the poly bushings ?

southcarolina12

which ones did you get? the ones i ordered come with the zerc grease fittings on them.
