BTW if you decide for some reason to go with aftermarket rear UCAs.. Keep rubber bushings on the part of the control arm that connects to the rear. Otherwise using poly you end up creating unnecessary binding.

Also to fit wider tires, if you want to keep the quad shocks just flip them. That will help. Otherwise put on better LCAs and get rid of them. Coils helps too lol.
That's the reason I just put new stockers in for the UCAs, I've read the stories about binding and snap oversteer.

See, I've heard examples from people who were fine without them and people who experienced awful wheel hop, so I just went with keeping them. Besides, when I put some 315 rears on, if it's too close I'll just flip the shocks around.
Luckily I guess, I have not experienced wheel hop, but I don't do hard launches either. I do alot of spirited driving, but with out hard launches or dropping the clutch at higher RPMs, I didn't build it for racing just street cruising and spirited driving on nice twisties in the country.

That's my ideal use of my Mustang.

If you search Gabriel 14039 you'll find them. They're listed as a steering stabilizer, but they look identical to the factory quad shock. And they're only 33 bucks a side on Amazon. For something like those, I wouldn't splurge on Bilsteins or KYBs.

Perfect, thanks for the help!
