I can't tell you personally how they do yet, but I was told they are fine on the street. I got them thru a local dealer (http://www.petersperformance.com/), but they are Summit arms.
I paid $245+tax, came to $262.00

SUM-790000B
$245.95

Reduce wheel hop and body roll.

Ford: 1979-2003 Mustang, black, upper and lower control arms

Our control arms reconfigure your suspension's geometry, giving you firmer launches, greater steering response, and tighter cornering with less body roll. This control arm set is black and includes premium hardware for an easy installation.

Those are nice and also convenient for me as I live about 35 minutes from Summit in Ohio.

I'm gonna go with these, though.

Those are nice looking also.

You don't want polyurethane on the rear end side... this causes the rear end to bind, putting strain on your torque boxes.

Ideally, you'd like a high durometer rubber, or polyurethane on the chassis side, and a high-grade spherical bearing on the rear end side, like these:

wow thoughs arms are for sale on ebay all the time like this set for 150... looks like you over payd

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...MEWA%3AIT&rd=1

[pocket3799]

Maybe so, but I don't use ebay and I pay cash for everything, so it limits what I can do.

[pocket3799]

Dropped car off Fri. night, went back Sat at noon, to get car... found them starting repairs on the drivers side upper torque box that I ripped off...

[Evil86lx]

Dont worry about the torque box repairs, I already ripped a nice tear in the floor pan of the 86. Thats what i get for using those arms, drag radials, and no subframe connecters. Oh well, it wasnt ever going to be a show car. Just a fun fast street car.
