RonWe're not trying to be smartasses or screw your deal or anything - we just want some specs on the control arms. Believe me when I say that any new products for these cars is a good thing. Just give us a reason to choose them over others. Quote Selected

Rear Suspension ( member discount) Reply #18 – November 02, 2006, 03:16:11 PM Here's why these Upper Control Arm kits are better than leaving the stock suspension geometry alone:Question: Was the Fox Chassis designed for drag racing from Ford?Answer: No. The Fox suspension was designed for driving around town in comfort and a little bit of handling. Ford had no intentions of designing the suspension for maximum straightline performance which is what you want from your Drag Car.Ever look at a true 4-link cars suspension? When you look at a tube chassis car equipped with a 4-link you will notice that the lower control arm is horizontal with the ground while the upper control arm is angled down. These angles are critical for locating the Instant Center for Drag Racing for the best hook and best stability which is why there are so many different holes to choose from. The Instant Center position DOES make a difference. Quote Selected
