Do they add any hp or just help the car handle better?
Do they add any hp or just help the car handle better?
Is this a serious question? Since the control alrs have nothing to do with the enginer it is going to be really hard for them to add any hp. The handling improvements are awsome through.

I was asking because some guy came up to me at the gas station. He tried tell me that control arms would add more at least 10 more hp to my car. I was really thinking but I didn't say anything because it was snowing and I was trying to get home.
How many hp do you think my new "Powered by Ford" coil covers are worth. I was hoping for at lease 3 per side (4 if I had used thumb screws instead of the stock bolts).

Ah cut the kid a break, he's a newbie and took the short route for a answer.
2004 DTR Marauder, Built 26 February 2004, Inservice: 02 July 2004 Retired from DD 17 July 2008. Survived the cut, 28 April 2012. Back as a DD as of 18 November 2012.
He wasn't posting to be a smarta$$ like some of the trolls we've had out here from time to time. He asked because he didn't know.I've heard dumber questions and have even asked some of them myself.
I always heard the only dumb question was the one you didn't ask.
Being as he's only 16 I think we're doing good having him here interested in learning more about "our" car and not playing with the sport compacts,who knows,in ten years he may have his own shop and be doing total frame off restorations on our Marauders if we help him with some good answers to his questions.
No slam to anybody,but think about it,if he was your son or nephew what kind of answer would you give him or want someone else to give him? Just my $.02
