Rear Lower Control Arms

Craig K. · 10-14-2008, 09:01 PM

Does anyone know if / what the differences are between 99+ lower control arms and Fox body control arms?

Is there a difference in length or width or no differences at all....

They're the same.

All the way to '04,they're the same basic chassis.

Same material type too, I am assuming?
They did not switch them from steel to aluminum or anything, correct?

I know this sounds dorky but I need to try and find a real nice set for real cheap, I am thinking a newer model year car take off would be better than older ones, but they have to be the same size/material for the class I am going to race in next year.

Rubber might be in better shape than some out of a 15 year fox, other than that same material. How cheap u needing found some on ebay for 80.00

That what I was thinking too, found a pair on e-bay for $20, (plus $20 shipping) out of an '03 GT.

Might go for these.

I don't want to spend a lot on them, because I can upgrade the factory lowers, so if I can find a set of aftermarkets (can't be lift bar type) for around that price, I would rather go for those.

I am trying to get my car legal for the NASA Camaro Mustang Challenge series for next spring.

Heck, Just thought about it, I might just swap the arms between the '95 and the '85 ('85 currently has HPM Mega bit adjustables)

CORRECTION: im not sure of differences in length and style between sn95 and fox arms, but I know for a fact that there is a bolt size difference in 94-98 LCA and 99+ LCA's. The 94-98 cars used a 12mm diameter bolt as where 99+ went to a 14mm. I found out first hand when I bought some for my 2000 GT and they sent me a set for a 94-98 car.

Fox uses the 12mm too. I "clearanced" everything on my car and used larger 1/2" hardware.
