Ford Racing control arms?
Are the ford racing upper and lower control arms pretty good compared to the other ones on the market? The uppers are $57 and the lowers are $230. I'm not to suspension savy so I don't think I would do to well with adjustable ones.

Re: Ford Racing control arms?
All depends on your intended use of the car i.e drag racing, road racing, limited race duty. I had the UPR urethane bushings and control arms aand tore them up within a year. Now I have the UPR upper and lower Pro Series---No bushing all Hiem joint and like them so far.

Re: Ford Racing control arms?
I recommend F5R upper/lowers for a street/strip car.

Re: Ford Racing control arms?
I go to the drag strip some but not often, I've been probably 6 times in the last 3 years. Just looking for something to help traction some.

Re: Ford Racing control arms?
The FRPP is a stock stamp arm with an upgraded bushing. The bushing is the same one that was used in the '93 to '98 Cobra's
I don't think I would waste my money on this, I would rather spend more and get a real arm.

Re: Ford Racing control arms?
The FRPP lowers are now none-other-than "Mega Bite Jr's" ! ! ! Those are badass lowers.
The uppers are boxed-in too I think, and with a better bushing, they will be fine for a street-car with occasional track use.
