Default upp/lower control arms

Ive been lookin around for some used non adjustable upp/low CAs and have come across some at a decent price. Is there a particular brand that make good arms, or are control arms, control arms? I found a pair of MAC u/ls for 140 shipped or Granatelli steal arms for 150 shipped. Also how much lighter are the aluminum peices. Found a set of steeda lowers for 120. idk if its worth the extra cash or not since im kinda on a high schooler budget

thank you
david

DO NOT get control arms that have both urethane or delrin bushings on both ends....

Do yourself a favor and get some Maximum motorsports lower control arms (or any other manufacturer who puts spherical bushings on one end) and keep the stock upper control arms....

Your mustang will ride so much better that way...

David look into beefin up your boxes as well. Maximum motorsports are good peices but expensive as hell. I would go with the granatelli, they are non adjustable and work fine for what your looking for. I have to order a set also for my Faux Saleen.

Bro Dont get the spherical bushings unless you have some battle boxes installed first. The car will ride like shit, and before too long it will litteraly tear your control arm mount off the car... I had Mac uppers and lowers on my car for less than a year. I dont have any bad things to say about them... just my .02
