Default stangsuspension.com, any thoughts on dealing with them?

I'm considering buying this:
StangSuspension Street Control Arm Kit (Upper/Lower) - For 05-08 Mustangs - StangSuspension.com

The price is excellent, but what of the quality, anyone have any experience with these guys and their parts?

I have got parts from them. Very good and quick. those parts in your link are from J&M. I have there lower arms. If your planning any mods you might want to think about the adjustable upper.

They look fine unless you lower your car.

Absolutely... Do they offer a kit with an adjustable UCA?

The only one I see is this one and it's a bit more expensive.

That's a nice setup. BMR redesigned their LCAs awhile back and that offset box style seems to be pretty good.

You might want to take a look at CHE Performance Products. You can get a good set of fixed LCAs and an adj UCA for under $300. I run their LCAs.

What do you think about this upper 3rd link combined with these control arms?

Is there a huge difference in terms of control arm design cuz I really didn't think it mattered much.

Thanks for the advice mark.

Are you planning on doing the install yourself?

Mark, will I have to change out my UCA to the Adjustable version if I decide to lower my car, or put a set of ultralite springs?
