Upper control arm: Adj. or non Adj.

[jymboslice]

Hey, im thinking about getting an upper control arm and mount for my 2012. What is the difference between an adjustable upper control arm and the non adjustable one? Aside from one being adjustable or not. Who would benefit from the adjustable upper control arm? And etc.

Thanks

An adjustable arm will allow you to adjust pinion angle a bit if you need to. I like the Metco unit.

CHE has the correct mount and arm for the 2011+ GT:

It's what I use and would recommend. :beer:

Thank you for the responses, is there any difference between the metco one or the CHE one?

That really doesn't even bother me at all. Over the exhaust, radio, and other various noises while driving i barely would be able to tell. I have steeda rear lower control arms and i didn't really hear any increase in NVH with those.

Looks like i'm going to go for the CHE ones with their mount.

Strength of the mount and adjustable mounting holes for the control arm. Gives more control over instant center on the car.
