I was hoping to get some feedback regarding upper/lower control arms/lift bars on a fox body...what is everybody using?

I'm using stock uppers, and south side lift bars. The best 60' i've cut is a 1.60....

I'd use anything that does not have a solid bushing in it. I used to run Police uppers and Southside lowers. Later on I kept the same uppers and had some Griggs tubular lowers that were non adjustible, now I have no uppers or lowers, ladder bars baby.

 

I use the megabite jr lower with stock uppers for now. the megabites have to settings of 80% and 110%. I went with the 80%.

 

i bought some of these;

i used to have southsides and stock uppers on my lx back in the day. they work great for their intended use, but are a little harsh on the street.

 

I run all Wolfe rear suspension.

We need to find me a smiley of a poor-ass so I can put it after my posts....:taunt:

Are the southside lift bars the same as the lakewoods in terms of performance? Also, do lift bars give substantially better 60' times?

I ran Southside uppers and HP Megabite Jr's and it worked ok. Best of 1.49 '60.

Now Ive got UPR double adjustable uppers, adjustable lowers, and their anti-roll bar. Best of 1.46 '60... and the car leaves much smoother and straighter. I attribute that to the anti-roll bar. Best suspension mod Ive done. BUT, the adjustable uppers/lowers helped me move the tires around in the wheel well... and they are lighter. On a good track the car goes 1.4X every pass. Anti-roll bar is a little noisy on the street though.

 

i just got a set of X2CMotorsports upper and lowers. once i get them on i'll comment on them.

 

TRZ here , had mega Jrs and those r real nice

 

a buddies car had southside uppers and lowers w/ a wolfe anti rollbar and went consistent 1.41-1.42 60s.
