I think the 83-88's are the same but mine is an 83 if makes a difference.DarrenI read the reply for the uppers, but does anyone have the c-c measurement of the lowers? Andrew?I've seen 18 1/16", but haven't found if that was a confirmed c-c. Quote Selected

Upper Control Arm interest? Reply #20 – January 09, 2015, 03:11:14 PM The lowers are 3/8" to 1/2" longer than Fox Mustang lowers but if you put the Mustang lowers on our cars it will suck the rear end towards the front of the car and the rear end looks goofy in the wheel wells. Not to mention is throws some geometry off as well which is probably more important but some seem not to care.With that stock Fox Mustang LCA's are 17-5/8" long which put the Fox T-Birds right around 18" to 18-1/8". The Fox T-Bird UCA's are well documented to be 10-1/4".Darren Quote Selected

I would have to use coilovers of some sort but they should work. Quote Selected
Upper Control Arm interest? Reply #23 – January 11, 2015, 07:09:58 PM Not sure if the bushings are the same dimensionally or if the angle they bolt in is the same. I would do a little checking before installing them.I've seen some companies advertise 79-04 Mustang control arms are the same but other companies break them down to 79-93, 94-98, 99-04, and 05+. So with that I'd double check those controls arms before installing them. Darren Quote Selected

My old man is a television repairman, he's got this ultimate set of tools. I can fix it.":D In all seriousness, I could just fab a whole new set in the shop, just trying to use old parts if possible.
