No company makes a lowered(dropped) front A-arm for f-bodies like they do for trucks, etc.

Thats done by springs and only springs. Rear lower control arms have nothing to do with setting the ride height. I believe thats a Ford thing (Mustangs I believe utillize rear adjustable arms)
Good morning Dewey- you beat me to the punch

i don't know they make lower arms for mustangs, but since the spring sits on teh lower control arm on a mustang i is possible they do.

link....

if edelbrock sells lowering arms for 82-92 f-bodies, i would fall on the floor, and then call edelbrock to see what went wrong in the world, and try to find out if i am living in a alternate reality.

now if you are talking about LOWER CONTROL ARMS which eldelbrock sells (basicly hotchis arms under their name) then yes they sell them, but they do not lower the car, to lower the car 1" you need 1" lower springs, that is the only way to lower the car. period.

That is called and aftermarket Lower Control Arm or LCA- Its the "lower arm"(meaning attachment position on vehicle) not a "lowered arm"(meaning a drop or lowered ride height)
