Firm Feel uses a standard screw in ball joint. I have the FFI control arms on my '65 Coronet.

I got mine from bigblockdart.com and they improve the handling considerably. You can put in more caster. On my set up, even with "problem solver" bushings, i could not get over 1.5 degrees of caster, and the on center feel was weak. Now witht he tubular upper control arms I have my caster set up now at 8 degrees, and it feels like a modern car in that the wheel snaps back to center when you release it. I may dial that back a bit, but it is fun to drive that way. I suspect the high caster number may take away a little on gas mileage as there is more rolling resistance going through a curve with the higher caster number. I also have the camber set at -.5 degrees. I have not seen excessive tire wear yet. I am told that radial tires handle that camber setting better than the old bias ply tires do/did, as the stiffer tread stays flat to the ground better. |

I bought a set from this guy a while back; they aren't on the car yet, but they seem to be well-made... http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Mopar-A- ... dZViewItem |

I just last week got those tubular uca's. They do look well made. Nice guy. Came with some tips and instructions as well. I, as well, don't have them on yet. Cory |
