Either maximum motorsports or team z, those 2 will have you covered for anything you can want.

I think he means why not get uppers. Because tubular uppers with poly bushings don't allow the 4 link to flex during turns. That=snap oversteer which can easily wreck your car. There is a good 2 or 3 paragraph writeup on Max Motorsports why to leave the stock uppers in with new rubber vs anything else. If you are just DDing the car and don't want to spend a lot of money, Steeda LCAs are just as good as MM for a street car and new rubber in the axle and uppers. MM makes a tool to remove the axle side bushings easily without having to pull it out.

If you are wanting to get the rear of the car completely sorted... Torque arm/panhard bar setup if you are keeping the solid axle or swap in a IRS that has all new FTBR bushings. Those are your only real options. I went with the IRS myself and IMO for a street car this is your best bet.

You shouldn't be torn at all. It's an easy decision. Do a search here in the SN95 section, or just on Google. You'll get the same answer. MM is the way to go.


Mustang Rear Upper Control Arm Bushings, Axle/Differential Side, pair

Rear Upper Control Arms, 1979-2004 Mustang

Heavy-Duty Mustang Rear Lower Control Arms, 1979-1998

Read the info in those links.


Here's a couple of the other brands.
