Control Arms ?'s
Simply put, who makes the best stuff out there. Wolfe, MM, megabyte jr's? If money was no object which would you get, and why?

Re: Control Arms ?'s
megabyte jr's are what I would go for as far as fox's are concerned, but ford changed bolt sizes (not sure what yr.. I think 99-up) on the sn-95's and as far as I know Kenny Brown is the ONLY aftermarket company that has Truely addressed the issue. So i'd stick with them on the newer cars.
i know ur probably just asking for fox's, but I post my .02 on both since ur trying to sale your car.

Re: Control Arms ?'s
MM has adjusted their CA's to accept the 14mm bolt that the 99+ cars have. Alot of companies acctually have.
metco arms are supposed to be one of the baddest ones around. They defintely look awesome. http://www.metco-inc.com/controlarms/mustanglca.shtml

NOTE: I haven't done much research on many adjustable units, so I can't recommend any.

Re: Control Arms ?'s
meagbyte jr's are the shit for drag racing (supposedly) but like brian said on a daily driver street car go with the Factory 5's

Re: Control Arms ?'s
I have Mega Bit Jr's with the adjustable rod end on my '85, I like them, haven't had any problems at all. I have had them on the car since about 1995-1996, they have around 6k miles on them, 5k of which are racing miles.
What do you want to do with the car is the first question. If your doing coil overs, then get ride of the big boxy bar and go to a tubular arm with threaded rod ends. If it is purly street with a little track action, look at Brians F5R arms, if your going to race it a couple times every month, look at the Mega Bit's

Re: Control Arms ?'s
The car wont be a daily driver that they will be going on, it will probably see 85% track use, with an occasional ride to the track, or cruise around town. Go mainly for a drag racing setup, but dont want something that coulndt handle the occasional road coarse as well. When the car gets finished, which will be a long long time, it will probably see track action at least once or twice a month, if not more.
So the megabyte's are good for road racing as well Craig? I definitely want something that will be the maximum amount of traction. It may take two years, but Im gonna build it right, and dont want to skimp on anything. |
