The reason why your car got raised in the front after installing Cobra control arms is because your stock bushings were probably tired as hell. I had the same thing happen to me when I installed poly bushings on the front of my old vw project car. Cobra control arms should have the same geometry as the other mustang control arms, so you should not see any more lift due to the swap.

i've heard that they do indeed raise the front of the car. something to do with the geometry of it all. something to do with the fact they are made for 9" wheels perhaps?

There is a possibility of that might being true, just like the new edge 8.8 is actually wider in the rear, but you'd have to talk to someone at ford racing about that possibly. I've done a bunch of searching on that on corner-carvers, and I could not find anything about any differences. As far as I know, and at this point this is just common knowledge, the only difference is bushings.

Thorco has this exact same setup as of last week. It raised his car a bit.
