it all depends on the road. a rougher road will cause more noise because it causes more suspension mvmt.

if you rant going to be serious into racing go with the poly bushings.

I'm looking at a CHE control arm pack, poly delrin bushings and they seem to have pretty awesome reviews. Question though, the 2008 mustang only has 1 UCA? I figured there would be 1 for each side, guess I need to crawl back underneath and take a look lol. I also just found out that if you lower your car an adjustable panhard bar may be required to re-center the rear axle lol...... the love NEVER stops Smile

I'm learning and having fun though. Here's a link to that control arm pack, any thoughts?

the 05 and up only have one upper control arm and two lower control arms. it allows the rear to move more freely then the previous years. if the rear didn’t move to much when you lowered the car then you don’t need a adj panhard bar. i will look and see what the specs need to be.

most people will tell you what brand they like the best, but i think majority of the companies parts are similar so its all up to you.

personally i like BMR products.

use step five to find out if you need an adj panhard bar. the distances need to be within 1/8th of each other.

Well, great news Smile

Either my car was off center to begin with and the lowering springs fixed it or there was no change at all. Both sides were 1 3/16" from the string to the top of the rim, dead on, no deviation at all. No need for an adjustable bar but the upper and lower control arms are definitely in my future Smile

. Once I hook that up and get me some drag radials then I'll start looking at the 4.10's probably. Sounds also like I don't really need to mess with adjustable control arms unless I just decided to get a solid driveshaft, then i'd possibly need an adjustable upper to get pinion angle right. I guess if i'm getting a new one anyways I could get an adjustable upper but would rather not have something else that can come loose or whatever lol.

I'll look at that too, had read a lot of good review on CHE as well and it's priced pretty well but i'll weigh all the options.

Looks like FIZNRULZ is as well. I've seen a lot of great review on it and it seems to be priced better than most of the other stuff.
