Just installed Steeda adjustable lower control arms with urethane bushings, they work great. They install easily in about 30 minutes and are easily adjustable. I set them to the factory length (18.5") center to center of mounting bolt holes. Prior to installing new tires I had pretty bad wheel hop, after better tires it was insane. Enough to shake your teeth out during a hard launch. Now there is absolutely no wheel hop and the car launches straight and predictably at any RPM wether at a stand still or from a roll. Much easier install than the control arms on my 02 GT.

Did you have to fine tune them to elimenate the hope, or just dial them in to the stock length and go? From what I have heard so far, I would think they would need to be a tad bit longer than stock to get a slght negative pinion angle...

How much more road noise do the urethane bushings transmit into the car verses the stock pieces? I was thinking of adding the billet pieces to my car when it arrives, but wouldn't want to degrade the refinement of the new car.

I haven't noticed any more road noise than the factory control arms, I do however feel a slight difference in road feel. Road feel difference is for the positive, I can feel the road more and now can anticipate what the car will do. As for the adjustment I just placed them at factory length, I have plans to check the pinion angle later and look for a negative 2.5 degree angle. I want to have a baseline launch at the dragstrip with the current setting just in case it happens to be the magic number for the settings I want. For now it works awesome on the street, though any change from the factory would have been better.
