      Pro-TouringF-body.com Upper control Arms for 2nd gen with Tall BJs - Questions

      So, I have a 76 T/A, and was looking into the PTFB Upper control Arms w/ tall BJs for $385.00. The car is a street car.

      What are the disadvantages/advantages of Tall BJs in a street application?



      Is it worth the extra $70?

      the tall ball joint raises the roll center closser to the CG decreasing the roll moment, it lessens roll center migration makes your springs and sway bars more effective due to improved geometrical loads
      Its worth every penny!

      I don't have much to add, but I think I am going with this setup too. Hard to beat for the money. Anybody used their subframe connectors, I am curious about how tight they tuck in and how well they fit.

      How do you like the fit of those connectors overall? Any issues with exhaust?
