    weight jacker control arms

    Has anybody ever had weight jacker control arms or heard of them? Are they any good, I like the fact they are adjustable depending on which wheels I run, also if anybody has a set for sale let me know.

    Nope, just run of the mill cars. The first was a really mild 5.0 car. There is no consideration for quality with those guys. I was really trying to find the picture of one of their lowers that broke on a guy on the highway, made a real mess of his torque box, quarter panel, housing bracket, etc.

    I put CHE arms on all my stuff. They make a weight jacker for T-Birds, but I dont see one for Mustangs on their site. Great guys to work with.

    We do but they are expensive, they are the Steeda billet aluminum version. Right around 400 bucks.

    I need to get a set of the Steeda lower control arms too. My reasons are a little different.
    I have a T/A rear end girdle on my car. I put on a Suspension Techniques Sway Bay kit. The angle of the Suspension Techniques Sway Bar is different then the original. The ST Sway bar is bent upwards and hits the rear end girdle when you hit a dip in the road. To compansate for the angle, I re-drlled the lower control arm rear swaybar thruhole 1/2" below the original hole. I know this is rigged but I wanted to see if lowering the bar would give me the clearance. It works for right now.

    The Steeda lower control arms have a removable sway bar mount plate that can be re-drilled to correct the hole position from the Suspension Techniques Rocket Scientist who thinks having a different angle swaybar bend then stock is the way to go.

    Sorry, I should have looked at the link. I am talking about the STEEDA weight jackers, not those ones.
