who sells those, and how much do they cost, and do they come with ball joints? i think mine are shot!

thanks

I guess you can tell, i have been away for a while, but we just slapped about 5k miles on the convertible down and then up the pacific coast on teh 101 so the things that I forgot about when I was over seas are starting to bug me again, and man does that car wonder, worse than my posts!!!!!

the firm feel dont say what it uses, but from what I could see on the pic

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...

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.
