Summit Racing Control Arm Set
hey everyone,
I just installed a set of the summit racing upper/lower contol arms for my '97 GT. the axle seems to point too far down causing a bad driveshaft angle. These arms were supposed to be a stock replacement. anyone ever run into this problem? is there someway to fix this without having to pull the alxe out again and install different control arms?
not sure if this makes a difference, but i have ibach lowering springs.

well i just called summit racing tech support and they told me this set is not a stock replacement and that its designed to put the pinion angle lower for launching. of course none of this is mentioned on the website.

yeah, just a solid set. the whole set was $219, i was looking at adjustable uppers and they runs in the few hundreds. is is possible to modify the current uppers or is that not advised?

i'm going to return mine and just put a stock set back in. bleedinblue, when you get your set in, take the length measurements and let me know what they are, i'll compare them to my stock ones i just bought and we'll see if they really are different

Well, the uppers are the exact same measurement as stock ford ones!
i think the tech support guy from summit was an idiot. i suspected that when he told me no one makes a stock replacement control arm for my car, and the only way to get stock geometry is to get stock parts. really, come on, its a mustang, everything is available.
anyone have lower measurements for the summit control arm set?
