    How much wider do you guys think you can go on the lower control arms
    I really want the wider street rod engineering lower arms with 1 in drop moint to get more suspension travel
    Just not positive if theyll work the the RCM kit

    You could prob go with longer arms as long as you acct for the tire clearance. What about the upper control arms? You would need to go wider on both unless you're going for that "cambered" look. LOL

    Yeah...not sure how re-engineering an already re-engineered system is going to work out. Everyone making these kits is pretty much designing the whole package around "their" products. Just not sure how interchangeable everything is going to be, and if you're going to get the desired results you're shooting for.

    I did finally put the R&C 107 kit in last fall, and am very happy with the resulting room in the engine compartment. Mine is pretty much solely drag raced though, so we seem to be comparing apples to oranges in the final results column.

    I'd say to call each company and ask...but I feel reasonably sure they're going to tell you they will only recommend "their" products for use lol.

    Maxx has a good point. I was looking at SPC MII control arms as they are adjustable and offer more Caster/Camber. But these were designed as bolt on parts for an actual Mustang II. Who's to say that the R&C suspension pick-up points are identical to their namesakes suspension design? Just because it bolts on doesnt mean it was designed to work there.
