RE: upper and lower controls arm
The avg. joe does not know how to set adjustable control arms,
will never readjust them and doesnt need to.
Upper control arms dont really take any real "load" so stock
design is fine and keeps pinion angles at factory settings which is fine
for a "street" car. The Ford Racing uppers give you a stock arm with
slightly stiffer rubber bushings to firm up suspension "slop" in turns.
I have MM's that have urethane on one end and spherical bearing on the other
and dont find the ride any rougher than with worn out stockers.
Everything I've read says people have binding issues when cornering
with pure urethane bushings on both ends.

RE: upper and lower controls arm
you are right about the average Joe not knowing how to properly adjust control arms...i found that i never needed an adjustable lower...but the upper adjustable for ME is something that i will always need especially at the track...just by replacing the stock bushings for a nice urethane one will help dramatically...
