Front Control Arm Upgrade?
Trying to plan for a few upgrades over the winter for my 65 GTO dedicated drag car.
Car has stock front Control Arms, stock springs front and rear (unknown specs), Lakewood 90/10 front shocks & 70/30 rear shocks, Hotchkiss Double Adjustable Upper rear control arms and boxed lower control arms. Car has been very consistent in 60' times and traction has not been an issue off the line. Considering upgrade my front control arms for more adjustability and weight reduction. At rest the car has basically zero camber and slight negative toe. However, lifting the front end 2.75" which is full suspension travel my camber goes to -2.6 DS and -1.1 PS while Toe goes to 1.12 positive on both DS and PS. Thoughts, suggestions, recommendations all welcome. I have looked at UMI, Global West and TRZ sets. Thanks DV
