Rear upper control arms

I finally pulled the trigger and bought the suspension I decided on. All the input from this site and its members helped me make a decision. I'm hoping for more help now on my next mod. I did steeda billet lcas and relocation brackets along with sport springs and new shocks. I still have some hop. I'm looking at uca. My fear, as always, is noise. I don't mind road noise. I just don't want squeaks of rattles. Has anyone installed the steeda uca or another uca that was adjustable and quiet?

I first hand have no experience with the Steeda UCA but an SCCA instructor that drives a 12' GT has it on his car and he said there is no increase in NVH.

Mr. V,

On a Mustang with a properly setup rear gear there is no increase in NVH.

Best Regards,

TJ

One of the best UCA's on the market is whiteline. I can't say enough good things about their product as far as performance, cost and customer service.

I'm sorry for my ignorance but what is a properly set up rear gear?

I am considering this part too. My lame desire to have my stuff match is a limiter. You convincing me to go with ground control was almost a miracle. I'm really happy with those plates and shocks. I may have to follow your advice again.
