Ron what do the upper control arms do for handling?
I thought the factory STD was good enough!

just allow you to adjust the camber on the rear. with lowering there is more -camber this is good is some respects and although noticable on mine hasen't caused any strange tyre wear. i want to play around with it to see if i can improve the car when pushing it hard on the track
