Not my Mustang, but on the girlfriend's Shelby, a friend and I got the new Steeda upper control arm (#555-4096, "for lowered cars") installed today.
Quite a difference in length.

More gear whine from the rear diff. Same thing that happened with my car.
Seems to dig in a bit better from a stop on a hard launch, and the rear suspension does seem to be a bit stiffer over some bumps.
What I was surprised to see was the fairly large difference in length between the stocker and the Steeda piece.
When I did mine, there was no noticeable difference, makes me wonder if I got a wrongly-packaged part.
Here's mine:

It is. Different part number and all.
But they were both sold/advertised as being "for lowered cars", supposedly shorter to correct the pinion angle.
On my car I took stocker out, put Steeda in, bolted with no axle movement needed.
On the Shelby, took stocker out, put Steeda in, bolted only after rotating the axle forward a bit, so the top mount would reach and line up with the hole in the new arm

Awesome Burton. I know what you're doing this 4th of July weekend.
