Hello, would anyone here possibly know if mustang 2 upper control arms will fit or if I can make fit on my mk4 without doing too much modification. Reason being is I’m trying to make more room to squeeze in a custom air bag coilover setup for air suspension and the factory five front upper control arms are kind of tight around the air bag. I have the factory five front spindles on my car.



SPC Performance Adjustable Control Arms 94800
These are the control arms I was thinking of using.


Thanks

Might work but you might have to modify them to get the alignment. You would need to check the lengths of the 2 sides to verify. Can you change the spacer lengths on the upper coil over mount to get more clearance?

They 'might' work but I wouldn't like to use them. The FFR arms can be adjusted by loosening two jam nuts and twisting the sleeve. Those would need to be partially disassembled to adjust. In addition to David's thought, also look into drilling a new hole in the frame (or slotting it) to move the upper end of the coil over inward.

Hard to answer unless you have some dimensions, specifically the distance from the center of the cross shaft to the center of the ball joint. Give me that and I can probably let you know if it’s even a possibility.
