Advice In The Gradual Un-Fucking Of My Car

[Laffs]

Currently my car has UPR double adjustable upper and lower rear control arms. They're heim joint ends on both and ride something like a cross between lumber wagon and WHY DID I LET SOMEONE TALK ME IN TO THESE





It's honestly not the ride I hate most its the constant clunking and vibrations.

About to order a set of Team Z Urethane Upper and Max Motorsports weight jacker lowers.





While I acknowledge that stock uppers are the best in terms of ride and harshness, my car is slammed and I need to be able to set the pinion angle correctly.

Is this a decent choice for a car that is 99.9% street duty and wanting a "reasonable" ride quality?

Team Z is firmly planted on our do not install list.
Will chime in later when I can

Noted, J&M makes a similar setup. Used them in the past no complaints.

if those new edge cars are the same triangulated set up as the early foxbody...? MM might have a torque arm kit and due away with the upper links altogether —binding with suspension travel is a problem with the angle on the upper and lower links fighting against each other and may be worse on a lowered car —Heim joints aren't a good road choice and don't last long

Torque arm kit is a bit outside my snack bracket last I looked.

yah they are extreme in price I don't blame you —I don't like how the MM for foxbodies is setup because it doesn't take in consideration of "jacking" on high horsepower cars which will lead to further tuning of the suspension —effective four links all point in the same direction

Go back to stock. No NVH. If you don't track it why bother with all the NVH caused by aftermarket with poly or delrin or even heim joints.

Like to keep the ride height I have also I will occasionally beat the shit out of it.

There is no substitute for MM Maximum Duty lower arms with stock style uppers. They also come in the jacker style. On Ross's car, no downside, no noise, no issues, car drives fantastic and is insanely fast at track days. I also have them on my '05 n install a set or three a season. All of the other offerings out there pale in comparison.

If you need the upper adjustment for pinion angle then yes, the Team Z parts are a good choice, they seem to focus on mostly race applications but I’m sure they’ll still be a lot better than a heim joint (ugh…), Detroit-based company as well IIRC. The lower weight jackers are good as well and would be my choice to be able to set the ride height perfectly, only issue with them is that you can see them much more than a standard arm.
