How hard is it to remove and replace both the upper and lower control arms on a 95 GT? I need to place the bushings so i figured that I would replace the arms as well with a set of Maximum Motorsport Lowers with the adjustable spring perches, and a set of FRRP uppers. I will be also be getting a new set of 3.73 and a panhard bar. Would these mods make a diffrence in street and on the autocrosss track?

The hardest part IMO is taking the stock arms out. They are usually rusted to ****. :thud:

The item that will make the biggest and best difference on an autocross course will be the panhard bar, and it will improve the handling on the street also. Mustangs are designed with lots of understeer for safety purposes, they want the front end to plow instead of the rear end coming around, and the panhard bar is the first step in getting rid of too much understeer and dialing in some oversteer, which along with some caster/camber plates and aggresive front alignment settings, will make the car much more neutral.

Thats the great thing is that my car has never seen winter so the rust isnt as bad as it could be, I have a set of M.M. camber caster plates so the alignment is next. Any one have a favorite place that they take there car to?
