Tubular aftermarket control arms are a failure waiting to happen. My buddy that I autocross with in a 2014 V6 Mustang in CAMC had BMR control arms for maybe 2 seasons but the passenger side failed at an event last year which ended his day plus associated major body damage from the wheel pushing...

When I get ready for this project I think I'll get some oem replacement control arms and swap out the bushings for the Whiteline stuff. Probably sometime later this summer or early fall. Thanks for all the input.

I'm not interested in doing a K-member swap. I just noticed that Steeda has Boss Competition front control arms that already have poly bushings installed. Seems like that might be an option for me to avoid the messy hydrobushing removal. They do come with Steeda extended ball joints which I...

2014 GT CAMC autocross car... I'm ready to ditch the hydro bushings in the front a-arms but not sure which direction to go. I'm considering the Whiteline anti-dive bushing set or the Ford Performance Boss 302 Delrin bushing set. Does anyone have experience with either of these or have strong...

Duh! I just noticed that Falken has a 315/30r19 available. Decision time. I think I would need to relocate the rear bump stop bracket and run at least -3* camber to get the front tires to tuck under the fender well. I have 19x11 ET50 wheels and I think I might need to run more spacer on the...

Terry, I'm about sold on the RT660's for my next set of tires. I can always bump the neg camber up a bit to -3* if needed but I have always ran about -0.250* total toe out which I think works out to about 1/8" on a 26" tire and have not noticed any significant wear from the limited street miles...

Time for new tires for a 305/30R19 19x11 square setup. I now have Rival S 1.5s that I need to replace. I've been pretty happy with the Rivals but have been hearing a lot of good things about the Falken RT660s. Car has full Whiteline rear suspension and Vorshlag MCS TT1 coilover camber plate...

My noise was coming from the front sway bar end links.

I haven't had a chance to check anything yet. I did install new Whiteline adjustable end links when I installed the new struts and camber plates. I'll double check the end links when I get a chance to work on it.

Ok, I have now ditched the ST XTA coilovers and installed the Vorshlag MCS TT1 setup with their camber plates and springs. It was great at first but is now making noises from the camber plates... kind of a low, rattle sound. Anyone have ideas of what to check for or are the bearings just noisey?

Another data point to consider... the 305/30r19 tires (Rival S 1.5 or RE71R) are considerably cheaper/less expensive than 315/30r18 tires at this time.

Apex EC7 is a solid choice in 18x11. It is ET52 and you will need either a 20mm or 25mm spacer and longer studs on the front. For just a little more than the price of the 2 sets of ARP extended studs you can get the Ford Racing hubs with them already installed and save the aggravation of...

Quick update time... 2014 Mustang GT lightly prepped for SCCA CAM-C class autocross. I was running the Steeda adjustable UCA with their spherical diff bushing. I also had the Fays 2 wattslink. I have now ditched both. I don't daily drive the car but do occasional errands around my small...

Tire rack may use those terms but the ST website does not... they are listed as a performance solution. They were Sam Strano's recommendation for entry level coilovers.

For an inexpensive coilover solution, the ST XTA setup works very well. You get decent spring rates (400lb front and 300lb rear), single adjustable shocks and pretty good caster/camber plates. Definitely not MCS quality shocks or Vorshlag camber plates but very workable and much better than...
