Let me check my cushions for loose change. I will be getting with you for a set of those control arms.

[Silver91Hatch]

Do you make adjustables with poly bushings?

[mg98ta]

Not yet Silver91. That'll be something i'm gonna work on in the coming year. Along with a k-member, anti roll bar, and full length frame connectors. And a few other things.

[Silver91Hatch]

Ok. Let me know on the K-member, anti-roll bar with tail pipes if you make one and I would like to see someone that makes a tubular lower a-arms for the front with spring perches, so people can run a factory setup with a full tubular front end. Just an idea. Thanks

[mg98ta]

Will do Silver91. What size tailpipes ya talking about? Factory style or aftermarket? Any other ideas are appreciated.

[mike s]

+1 on the k-member. very nice looking control arms good work :thumbsup1:

[Silver91Hatch]

Well I think I have stock 2 1/4" tail pipes, but I am going to upgrade to 2 1/2". If I do go with 3" it will be dumps.The problems with MOST of the anti-roll bars that are offered is they use all of the tail pipe area. The problem I have with tubular front ends now is you either have to run coil overs or stock a-arms and special bolt on spring perches. If I am looking for light weight stuff why would I want stock control arms AND then have to buy a pair of perches to add to the K-member. I was looking a while back about buying a drop K-member to run a W motor with a stock hood, thats another possibility, a little slimmer purchase group but its basically a monoploy, no one else makes it.

I just removed a set of Southside Machine lowers, too hard core for me. So I'm looking for replacements. What's your price on just the lowers picked up? I'm just a few miles north of you.

[mg98ta]

Well, I can tell ya that most cars that have anti roll bars don't have tail pipes. You do not want to run an anti roll bar on the street. They're made for going straight only. I take it you want good traction, handling, & have pipes and probably DR's. I know a few others that want the same. Keep the ideas coming ppl.

[mg98ta]

Mustangpro, $159 picked up. Let me know if I can help ya.

[188slo50]

+1 on the adjustable uppers with Poly's, and want a set of full lenght subs when you get them done. Let me know

[mustangpro]

Mustangpro, $159 picked up. Let me know if I can help ya.

Sounds good! Let me get these SSM's cleaned up and sold and I'll get with you.

[mg98ta]

I'll keep yall informed 188slo50. And, sounds good ta me mustangpro. Let me know when ya want em.

Well no drag radials yet but it has a bit of rollover coming off of the line with the slicks and I don't want an airbag. I can disconnect it for the street, but I see everybody say to disconnect them, why? I know a few street cars that drive them around hooked up. Will it bend it or something of that nature? I am going to put together a street strip car here in the near future and I am debating on tail pipes.

[mg98ta]

It could bend it or mainly wear out the rod ends and other parts of the rear suspension. That is because it can't shift around very much hooked up. It is made to go straight and keep the car straight. Your always turning or shift the weight of the car from side to side for prolonged periods which will wear out or break parts. You can put one on and disconnect it for street driving. But, then you have to hook it back up and then go through the whole adjusting and fine tuning it for the track. Depends on what ya wanna do with the car.

[188slo50]

Pm me a $ shipped to 22960 for a set of adjustable uppers.

[Mustang Leo]

Any pix of your sub frame connectors?

[mg98ta]

Not yet. I may swing by my work place later today and snap some.

[Mustang Leo]

designed as weld or bolt in?

[mg98ta]

Weld in w/seat brace. I don't have bolt in's.

[mg98ta]

Pics of frame connectors are up. Check em out.

[mg98ta]

Let's BUMP this up.

[silentcarl]

Any plans on adding a panhard bar bolt-in kit in the future?

[mg98ta]

I probably could. I guess that is more tailored to road racing? Hadn't ever really seen any for the Foxbody yet. Seen plenty for the F Bodies though, course they come with them from the factory.

[silentcarl]

Something like this from Griggs, but a bit less expensive:

[cobra_4]

[mg98ta]

Sounds good to me. :burnout:

How much will the prices go up next year? I know Im gonna use your control arms for my car I just don't know when Ill be able to buy them. I know it won't be till next year.

[mg98ta]

Why that's Friday, LOL. They won't go up much. I've priced my stuff lower to get it out there and as an introduction on here too. I plan on changing some of my designs and coming out with new stuff this coming year. Just let me know when ya need some c. arms, frame connectors, or anything else.

[88mouse]

Do you make any through the floor SFC?

bump

[mg98ta]

Man I had check my forum and hadn't even seen your post. Sorry about that. I do not make any through the floor connectors yet. I have standard frame conn.'s or can get you some full lengths, UPR or Steeda brand. Let me know if I can help ya.

I have the standard ones now. Just looking to upgrade to the thru the floor ones. Let me know when you start make them.:thumbsup1:

[mg98ta]

Will do .man. What you got will really take some power though.

[BYEBYE2U]

i've seen a couple sets of these in person that his cousin Jamie had him build for him. they looked like they were super quality!

[mg98ta]

Thanks man. I build my parts like i'd want them to be on my car. I don't like cheap weak parts. Do it right the first time. What's your name by the way? Not sure if i've met you before. Your just over the road from me.

[BYEBYE2U]

My names Timmy,i've done alot of dealing with ole Jamie.he's a good guy

[mg98ta]

Yea, i've heard him mention a Timmy before. I may of even met you before and don't remember it. Jamie's a good guy (cousin) to me. LOL

[stangster50]

can you do a set of offset urethane (both side) lowers, with no spring cup, or sway mount, and adj. uppers? price? these wont break at the heim joint right?:p

[mg98ta]

I could do some offset poly's. I don't think your gonna gain a lot of clearance with the poly's though. I could use some smaller diameter tubing and gain you a lil more clearance with the offset. Are you running coilovers? And, nope these will not break at the hiem joint. As for pricing. Offset poly lowers & adj. uppers-$305 shipped. You'd need to allow a few days for me ta build the offsets though.

[88mouse]

Im sure they will. But next winter Im going to have the cage redone. And I would like to put the thru the floor ones in and tie the cage in to them.

[mg98ta]

I hear ya. I am so busy with work at the shop during the day. I need more time ta just work on some new products. Hopefully we'll level out before long. And, I can get on the ball, lol.

the main thing i was worried about is the heim joint breaking. i have seen the uprs break, and was wondering what makes yours not break? lol. because if its guaranteed, then i might as well buy the offset with a heim.. and yes... it will have a coil kit.

[mg98ta]

Your talking about the lowers that have heim joints breaking, right? I've never seen any break yet. Were the upr's also offset's? Did the heim joint break or where the heim screw's into the tubing?

[stangster50]

upr offers offset, but im not sure those were the broken ones.. they usually broke in between the threaded rod, and the actual heim joint eye.. im just nervous since its a d/d i drive the hell out of..

[mg98ta]

Is it minitubbed or something to need that much offset or you just running a larger tire?

[nastynotchback1]

Here is the problem.They were not built to daily drive and folks just never take the time to check them on a car they drive everyday.Heim joints are great but they wear quick and then things bind up and next comes the big snap.

[mg98ta]

Your probably right nastynotch. All the heim joints I use have a teflon liner or are teflon impregnated (higher quality). I know of a lot of street cars around here running the adj. stuff. But, they're not drove everyday. Polyurethane bushed would be the way to go on a DD.

[stangster50]

Is it minitubbed or something to need that much offset or you just running a larger tire?

it is going to be tubbed. my everyday tires are 345/40/17's. one more question... if i was to stick with double urethane on the lowers.. are there grease fittings to stop squeaks?
i should be ok with heim joint uppers right?

[88mouse]

Here is the problem.They were not built to daily drive and folks just never take the time to check them on a car they drive everyday.Heim joints are great but they wear quick and then things bind up and next comes the big snap.

And don't forget. Chrome moly is only good for about three years.

[mg98ta]

Chrome moly only good for 3 yrs? Never heard that before. Yes, all the poly's have grease fittings. On a DD, the heim joint will eventually wear out, even if they're teflon lined. I could get you some UPR adj. poly uppers. On the lowers, you can gain a lot of clearance if you move the lower c. arm mount over on the axle. Making the lowers straight with the chassis instead of crooked to the chassis.

[stangster50]

alrighty.. can we update the price again then? lol. sorry. double urethane lowers, and double urethane adjustable uppers?

I know NHRA will only certificate a chrome moly cage for three year.

the teflon should last longer and definitely higher quality.

[mg98ta]

New prices posted on my c. arms.

[htrdmstng]

I received my poly control arms today. They look great! Thanks again Mike.

[5.0man]

the sf connectors still available?

[mg98ta]

Sure are. I have a couple sets left in stock before I have ta make another batch. PM or call me if I can help.

[htrdmstng]

Do you still have some control arms with poly? I'm looking for another set, possibly without spring perches.

[mg98ta]

PM sent htrdmstng

[Bizarro]

Mike ive got the set of rear arms that's in your avatar... just curious of what kind of powder coating color you use... going to take the spring perches off " dont need them" an wanted to recoat them the same color. :thumbsup1:

BTW, AWESOME STUFF MAN!!!

[mg98ta]

Tell you the truth, i'm not sure. It's just a silver color. Your powdercoater should be able to match up the color. It's a gloss silver. They're not cleared. I do know that. How do you like them so far?
