MM lower control arms

[Jrgunn5150]

All The Winning Mustangs Racing in NASA and SCCA are all Running MM or Griggs...... Doesnt that say something?

It says exactly what their ad say's actually. It means nothing to me in the grand scheme of things, in and of itself. Steeda claims more wins than all competitors combined, again, means nothing at the end of the day.

I don't run in the SCAA, NASA, or even the NMCA anymore, and neither do you, and neither do most our member's here.

I've used Steeda repeatedly back in the day, UPR more recently, even southside lift bars. I chose for what I needed, and what I was doing, and all have worked fine, even Granatelli has worked fine for me.

At any rate, there's no need for absolutely everyone to run MM products, there's no need for most people to. They're overkill for you Handz, they're overkill for me (I'm looking right at my LCA's and subframe connectors right now), it's not like if you put an LCA on your car that doesn't say MM on the side of it, it's going to fall apart. I mean good night Irene, the stocker's, are a piece of fender or some shit, whammed with a punch press to make a U shape, anything on the market is better than that.

It's really not to hard to belive that Maximum Motorsport makes the best quality
control arms on the market.Their bushing design and handling characteristics of
their control arms are superior to any control arm on the market today.
Mr. Handz is correct every other company just copies the Maximum Motorsport
design and they fail miserably with a inferior product that people THINK is great.
Maximum Motorsports has the only suspension parts I would ever consider putting
on my Ford Mustang.
I have purchased numerous suspension parts from them in the past and I can
honestly tell you that their customer service is top notch and I would give them
my business again.

i have a mixture of suspension goods. and frankly im happy with my choices. i chose my parts. upr, steeda and granatelli coil overs. anything man-made is meant to be broken. suck it up. things happen. and top it off im not jumping on a band wagon. knock-offs are everywhere and not just parts. look at everything you wear etc. what do you say onto that. choose your parts. and not because someone says its better. as said, research. if you like throwing away money to ppl. ill take it.

I let everyone know i am a poor, broke, jobless college student that details cars so i can mod mine.

I could have installed some UPR or "Bargain Priced" Control arms when i bought the car.... but i waited, saved my money, and bought the MM arms.... and i am So thankful everyday that i did.

I just like the way Maximum motorsports explains every
part on their website.
You could tell they have done lots of testing.
I also like it that they sometimes dont recommend some
of their products for street use.
They are honest and dont try to make you buy something
you dont need just so they make more money.
For instance, a lot of companies make UCA, MM don't.

How can everyone copy MM, when they weren't first?

 

[vermilion]

:blah2: :blah2: :blah2: :blah2: cmon, companies for years have been using same designs and such. get MM's teet out your mouth dude. or tell them to pay you for slick advertisement. i refuse to buy products with god awful prices cause i know theyre are other products out there just as good and lower priced. not everyone can sit at home and be jobless, sell drugs or collect money from somewhere or however people get mods. college fellers out there trying to do right for themselves and enjoy a little upgrades. :happydrunks: :happydrunks:

Guy, if you were really poor, you would not have the money for a Mustang ... period, let alone a V8 version, the money for insurance, gas etc. I see many "hoofin it" to the bus stop. Be glad your not really poor.

I'm just sayin I've got some other things my money is going into besides the Mustang. The house, the 2 kids going into college, the '08 Escape payments used for my daughters "travel" soccer tournaments. Just a lot of stuff.

So I have to investigate the parts I buy carefully. Since I don't run mine real hard, the MM parts may be a little overkill.
But I know I won't be doing the job twice and the LCA's are designed to work with the Panhard Rod kit that is already there waiting.

We'll see how it goes.

Someone answer this guy? How? Or is it just another "fact" pulled from between fanboy's asscheeks?

 

[g_dogg]

can you adjust them while they are installed?
or better when they are off the car?
how does that work exactly?

 

[Jrgunn5150]

You mean the spring height on MM's, you can do that on the car, the whole spring perch screws up and down, for length or pinion angle, only double adjustables can be adjusted on the car.

Handz read it on the internet once so it must be true!

OK. The MM LCA's are installed. Have drove it a few days now and here is what I've found. Remember, this is with a stock suspension

except for the addition of a MM Panhard Rod kit:


Pros: Very tight feeling rear
Tracks very straight
Doesn't feel like the rear could "bottom out" as easily
Traction improved

Cons: Did add some more axle noise from the wheel bearings (above the panhard rod even)
"Slightly" bouncier rear suspension, but worth noting

Overall a good improvement. If you have aftermarket mufflers or run the stereo loud you you probably won't
hear the axle noise.

Caster/Camber plates next ............. GT

 

[g_dogg]

awesome GDTrumbo,
is the increase in noise too much for a daily driver?
are you happy with the mod? would you redo it?
did you get the ones with the swaybar mount?
I noticed on pics of Handz's car that the swaybar hangs low.
did you also experience this?

 

[SRT Handz]

Does your swaybar hang really low like mine? :dunno:
