What I'm looking for is some dimensions of the upper control arm. Shaft bolt spacing, length of control arm from shaft bolts to center of upper ball joint, B.J. angle if any etc.. Looking to source some aftermarket tubular's or fab my own if need be. Looking for adjustability and performance oriented geometry.
