[QUOTE="Cman01, post: 15720948, member: 138028"] My email to Kelly: "Next questions are on the control arms. The adjustable arms what exactly is that adjustment for? I usually street drive the car but on occasion do track days on road courses with the occasional run down the drag strip. Which type do you recommend adj or non adj. version of your frt control arms? What about the ball joint height (19mm standard height or tall height for my use of the car?)" His answer: "Do not acquire the tall ball joints. They are more hassle than what they provide for benefit. As for the adjustable VS non-adjustable....they simply perform better. The adjustment is based on the ability to fine tweak the alignment with the rear slotted mounts. You can also adjust the length of them, before the initial install. The instructions state to set them oem length. If you are road coursing, I usually tell people to go about .300" longer....if drag racing I advise about .300" longer....for a mix of performance and street I advise stock length (as the instructions state) This is not a part that you want to adjust the rod-end after installation." I also had a post about this possible issue after switching control arms but Kelly feels this is not a problem anymore after '11 model cars: [URL='https://www.svtperformance.com/forums/threads/anyone-seen-this-epas-wobble-issue.1146497/'][U]https://www.svtperformance.com/forums/threads/anyone-seen-this-epas-wobble-issue.1146497/[/U][/URL] Kelly's email to me after I showed him my post: Hi Tony, I have never seen that issue with anything other than 2011 Model Year Mustangs.
