I was wondering a few things about my install, that maybe you guys who have the CHE can answer.
1) My car has lots of vibration above 80. Is this due to the stiffer bushings or do I just need a wheel balance and the control arms made it more noticeable?
2)Do I no longer use the rear sway bar? My car had a custom aftermarket unit, but it sits super low and is hell going over speed bumps in my complex and forget going to those mechanical car washes. Pics...

My CHE's are great, and I use a rear sway bar. I haven't noticed any added vibration at all, although I have no more wheel hop in any gear. If you're worried about the custom sway bar, install a TC bar. I wouldn't run without one. Also, quit going through mechanical car washes.

I put mine on last summer, no problems. I don't think your vibration is likely from the control arms.

I'd check the U-joints. They tend to go bad and vibrate. If you ain't changed them then I would. With all new bushings you would feel the vibration as you have taken all the play out of the rear.

Whats the difference in the Maximum Motorsports arms and the CHE versions?
I guess the Mustang arms will work. Will they?

I have always been taught that the Mustang arms are shorter.

Have you checked the pinion angle? It may have changed when you put the new control arms on. Always a good idea to put the adjustable ones on top. If the pinion angle is off, it could be putting a bind on your universal joints.
