Whats the bolt hole center to bolt hole center distance on the lower control arms?

 

[tonysmach]

what type of bushings in the custom made lower control arms? Why does one upper control arm look different than the other? Are they both Metco?

The Custom lowers use the Metco bushings. The uppers that are for sale are both Metcos. That picture is beside the new uppers I made for my car. That is why I took the Metcos off. They are in MINT condition. I just decided to build uppers and lowers using chromoly tubing I had in my garage.

Thanks

The distance is 19.300 inches centerline to centerline. It is about 0.050 longer that stock. I wanted it to be a tad bit negative pinion angle.

Thanks

I didn't spell it wrong Charlie, i just didnt finish it...haha, And it's S-P-E-L-L...not SPEEL.

Stock is 19.25 or 19 1/4. Full race is 19.5 or 19 1/2.

Hmmmm why would the race versions be longer? I'm asking because mine are 20s and want to go back to the stock length.someone installed the longer Metcos with the lowering plates and my anti squat is way off the mark and to fix it I need to install adjustable uppers to,get it right and install stock length LCAs in the stock hole to so my pinion angle will be right and so I won't have driveline issues.

You kinda answered your own question here. The longer arms change the position of the pinion and if you're got lowering brackets it changes the IC location for better off the line performance.

Thanks Charlie. That's the answer.

It's better than stock but not optimum, it loads and unloads faster, and the anti squat is over 170 , to give you an idea 100 is considered perfect.
I want to get the most out of it and won't settle for just ok or a better than stock. The issue is the LCAs are shoot upwards and not optimum for launching the car, the LCAs should be as level to the ground as possible. The lowering plats are a cheap upgrade but by far not optimum.

 

[coach]

I'll agree about level to the ground with a ladder bar set up, but never heard that about trailing arms or aftermarket 4 link.
