[QUOTE="Lee12609, post: 735799, member: 12415"] I disagree with pretty much everything you just said. Weight jackets do not relocate the mounting location either, the term weight jacket implies exactly what they do, bolt in like stock and allow height/weight adjustment. Also anyone considering a Lakewood strut setup I automatically figure is more into drag than anything. Also lower control arms do next to nothing for drag performance besides using stiffer bushing, unless they relocate the mounting point to help the instant center of the car. When you launch a car (with any descent force) the ring gear tries to "climb" the pinion, this is the main cause of wheel hop in our cars. Basically if they don't change suspension geometry or pinion angle rear control arms upper or lower wont make much if any noticeable difference on the launch. Keep reading generic mustang forums for info and taking it to heart and you will end up wasting a lot of money...... [/QUOTE]
