Alright so my buddy has a gbody that were putting a dyno’d 550rwhp sbc in, so were going though and building up everything else. We are boxing in the lower control arms, and he wants to shorten the upper control arms to get more traction in the setup. There’s two styles of aftermarket ones, adjustable and fixed. Can anyone tell me the eye to eye length of the uppers on the shortened aftermarket ones? Thanks.
