Default control arms, and other mods

what do you guys pay for a set of lower control arms? im in ontario canada about an hour from ottawa and the cheapest ones i can find are about 500 bucks. i saw one thread someone said around 200...... even if thats 200 USD that way cheaper than what i can get. i would like to do one thing to my car b 4 i take it out and i had my eye on some control arms. but if theyre that much.... what do you guys think i should get? i have a short throw shifter, 3.55's, full exhaust, under drive pulleys, sub frame connectors, strut tower brace, and i have a bbk intake i didnt install yet. what should i get next?

i think i may have found a decent deal.... a set of lakewood lower control arms. does anyone own these? are they good? the ad isnt very descriptive it simply says "lakewood lower control arms 89 mustang" there is also traction bars...... what exactly do i want...... its not something ive read up on much. thanks

you don't need traction bars, you have rear coil springs, not leaf springs, i think... if their coil traction bars are pointless, leaf springs, and you won't need lower controll arms... get some new quad shocks? i think that's what their called, they are the little shocks behind the diff going sideways, new controll arms and quad shocks will eliminate wheelhop
