Honestly the upper control arms are a really bad idea, the stock ones are made of rubber and so they have some engineered give, when you put polyurethane uppers on they create even more bind than the stickers due. I've heard of people removing the driver side upper control arm, they call that the poor mans 3 link. Do some research on it, but I don't recommend you tracking it with those UCAs honestly, if you aren't going to get a torque arm soon from all of what I read, spherical bushing uppers might be better
What car is this on?
already has UCA, tq arm will be in the next 3 mths, depends on how much Dantes takes out of the pocket.
Awesome, if you do, save some money up for better rear brakes too, the torque arm moves the braking bias backwards some so if you upgrade your rear brakes and get a prportioning valve to set the bias it'll improve your stopping distance as well.
Baer brake kit is on the OP. Tires, radiator, TB, k members, control arms should be here this week. plus free mounting and balancing. If anyone needs tunes or parts for almost any vehicle, let me know.
What kind of parts?
If you needs aftermarket parts for any of your vics, or tuning. I did down grade from 305 to 295 in the rear. michelin PSS all around 265 in the front 295 in the rear instead nitto
added to the current order hose and clamp kit for radiator.
Any good aftermarket parts for a Mach 1
Looking to get left front fender color matched to car to band aid until I save up for full paint job and ding repair. Any recomendations?

Sorry I would, but I promised my gf I'd do the brakes on her car
Environmentalists would have been upset with me today. Gave here a good bath under the hood and outside. Def Going to be saving up for a full paint job, until then will be one mean ugly duckling with swirl marks. I do want to get the fender done once she is mobile. I will start doing interior cleaning over next couple days, today was just too hot. One thing that was nice that I found was : Weight-Coupe :3391 So i think with the hood, k-members, control arms, rear seat delete, lighter seats, drive shaft should could possibly be sitting lower 3000's. Also is advertised with 16 city and 24 hwy, I know I have 3.73's instead of stock 3.27 but also have a 6 spd vs the 5 plus lighter. Also with intake exhaust and tuning could be pretty decent lol best mileage car I have owned compared to the jeeps and charger

yeah was reading it from the original thread it was from yesterday.
Depending on which 5 speed came out of the car you may not have gained much. The 03 and above t 3650 .62 to 1 overdrive ratio while the T56 out of the cobras has the same .62 overdrive ratio. The earlier t3650 did have a .68 to 1 overdrive ratio so you may have gained some there.
yeah has t56 with viper internals to handle more hp and cryo treated. plus my gears are 3.73, thinking about bumping it up to 4.10 but well see what numbers she puts down at dantes and how she feels
Called dante today as well, he said he drops the engines from the bottom and could just put the new k member on. Spoke with him for about 10 min today and followed it up with email on plans plus with the mod list so he knows what is done and what potentially is needed.

The viper t56 has a .5 od ratio, so the 4.10s wouldnt suck. A k memeber is a pretty easy install if youve got the shop space.
