  What a difference!

  This is a mod that made a real difference. It took a little over an hour to remove the stock rear lower control arms and install the Boss 302R control arms. The hardest part was the hand brake cables, which were routed through the slots in the stock arms. The Boss 302R arms make the rear wheels feel much more firmly planted to the road. When I power out of a turn, I can really feel the difference. The rear doesn't seem inclined to drift out an inch and I can really slingshot back into the straight away. There may be some other brands that are less expensive, but these are genuine Ford Performance parts that deliver. You can probably spend more, but I doubt you'll get any better performance.

  A bit of Boss for my Bullitt

  I installed these tubular Boss 302R lower control arms along with Boss 302S relocation brackets, as well as the BMR adjustable upper control arm to help correct the suspension geometry and pinion angle on my Bullitt. The car also has the Ford Performance Adjustable Handling pack which lowers it about one and a quarter inches. I haven't driven it much yet, however I did notice a sportier and more connected ride quality on my test drive. NVH did not increase dramatically either which I am very pleased about. The install could not have been simpler. Disconnect the e-brake cable, unbolt the old stamped steel LCA's and bolt up the new ones. Don't forget to torque the bolts with the suspension loaded to avoid unnecessary strain on the poly bushings. Oh yes, and grease those bushing so they don't squeak. The Boss 302R LCA's are a very beefy tubular design yet lighter than the stamped steel factory pieces. They fit perfectly and are more go than show with their black powder coat finish. Overall I'm very happy!

  Girthy things!!

  Wow! They look about 1 1/4" thick. Still impressed. I installed them with the FRPP adjustable handling pack, so speaking for them on their own won't work, but I have found my Tiger Paw tires can't get keep grip with a manual and 3.55's. >:D

  WORTH THE MONEY!! SHOULD HAVE BOUGHT BEFORE

  me and some buddies from my car club that's a sponsored club here at AM put on these along with a BMR non adjustable panhard bar and power stop street warrior brakes on my 05 drop top GT. they were a bit tough to get final fitment but drastically changed the feel the car gives going down the road. it rides so much smoother.

  Lower control arms

  Control arms are doing great so far. Solid and straight with no play. These replaced the SR upper and lower arms which failed first time out.

  glad i purchased this product

  At first I was not going to purchase this product but once they were installed i was really glad I did... really stiffens the car and helps transfer power from tires to the ground..

  Boss 302 Lower Control Arms.

  These control arms fit perfectly. They installed in less time than it took to jack up the car and put the jack stands under the car. They are lighter than stock parts and look great !! They help with eliminating wheel hop and with handling. Great price too!! Thank you AM !!

  Nice upgrade...

  These went on easily. I also installed the FRPP relocation brackets, and an adjustable UCA with a poly bushing. With this combo, there is a slight increase in transmitted road/drivetrain noise (more noticeable when cold), but nothing too loud. Also, wheel hop is nearly eliminated based on cold pavement launch on UHP all-seasons. Also have aluminum DS.

  work great

  I was looking finish up my rear suspension mods and lower control arms were the what I needed. I went ford racing because I knew the fit would be perfect and they would work well. Had some trouble getting the old lcas out because the old bushings had worn out and basically rotted around the bolts. Took it to a shop right down the street and they were able to get the old ones out and the knew ones on in about an hour. These lcas work great even with the other modds I've done I can tell a huge difference . The rear stays planted on hard launches and the rear is more stable when taking curves . I would highly recommend the boss 302r lcas.

  Boss 302R control arms

  Put these on my 2013 Boss 302 to help reduce the wheel hop. They have eliminated most of the wheel hop without causing any unnecessary harshness. And since it's a Ford Racing part it fit like a smack in the mouth! Nice.

  Good control arms with a little bit of noise

  Overall these control arms work very well on my 2014 5.0. With the relocation brackets everything lines up very well and the traction is MUCH improved. With that being said there are a few things I wish would change, first thing is the noise, after installing these lower control arms I was impressed with the performance but not impressed with how much noise is made. I don't know why, but when it's cool in the morning and when the exhaust gets good and warm from some highway or spirited driving they make a noticeable (bushing grind/squeak) noise. Also I want to note for everyone that with the relocation brackets these are very low, with about 2 1/2 to 3 inches of clearance from the ground. They do scrap when going through a drive though car wash and on very tall speed bumps not horribly but enough to make you cringe the first time it happens. Overall these control arms work very well.

  Nice product for the money

  After 90k of spirited driving I refurbished the entire suspension. Anticipating some track days coming up I used these along with the tubular upper and tubular front control arms from BMR. the ride and handling feel like new again. The car handles great, feels solid and predictable. Definitely increases NVH due to road conditions but it's very tolerable. With my worn set of gears the rear gear noise transferred through the stiff bushings is pretty intense.

  Feel the Difference.

  First of all, the speedy delivery from American Muscle blew me away with only 2 days to get to Hawaii. Installation was pretty easy. As far as improving handling goes, the Control Arms definitely help put power to the ground. No wheel hop, just all out roasting tires reminding me to get better tires. I am overall impressed with this installation.

  Great improvement over stock arms

  These cars from the factory have a lot of power. One thing they don't have much of is traction. I swapped the stock LCAs for these, with the addition of Whiteline relocating brackets and a 285 Nitto rear tire. Huge improvement in launching the car. Haven't had a chance to throw it in a corner yet, but these are bound to help there too. Fit is great, and they look good too. Very pleased with my purchase. As always, AM is quick to ship! Thanks!!!!

  Boss 302 lower control arms

  This was a pretty easy install. It takes more time finding the tools and jacking the car up than it does to install these LCA 's . Fit is good as well as finish. They look great and definitely Stiffened the rear end up combined with the whiteline relocation brackets . Still having problems hooking but I think that's more of a tire issue. Great product!
