Ridetech or Global west control arms?
 
I have to make a choice on new upper control arms. My setup currently is ridetech coilovers all around with their triangular 4 link. In the front iam running global west upper, lower control arms and their strut rods. On my 1970 mustang. My issue is that the global uppers dont have enough caster built in and i cant get enough out of the strut rods, and it drives like a shopping cart. So global has a new set with 3 degrees built in, or should i go with ridetech uppers? Is one better than the other or should i keep it all global?
Thanks

I'd have a look at the Mike Maier Inc set up

Hotchkis has new Uppers with built in caster available now also.

I was wondering, is the car darting all over the road? Could you possibly be having bump steer issues? I only ask because I have the standard global west arm on my 68 Cougar and my in-law has them on his 66 mustang. My car didn't have any darting, but my in-law's did. We fixed it with a Baer bumpsteer kit.

I did have that issue before with my power rack but i just put a manual in and made sure my pitch was corrected so it didnt happen again
thanks

I honestly would recommend that you stay with one manufacturer. I and many others have done the mixing of parts and it take a lot of effort to make it all work. I have learned to stick with one manufacturer and it always come out better. I would go Ridetech.

You have ridetech on the rest of the car, I would finish it out with ridetech

I really like the way our control arms are set up, they're a solid piece. Don't hesitate to give me a shout if you have any questions!
