You raise some good points and your grammar and punctuation are better than 99% of the population.The OEM suspension is not terrible - for a street car. Ford engineers aren't idiots. The geometry is actually pretty good for a street car. However, once the car is lowered, the geometry is FUBAR'ed and thousands of dollars worth of parts are required to correct it. Most of the "advanced" suspension components out there are built to correct the geometry.I spend hours every day researching, designing, and testing components to address the shortcomings of the stock suspension.If you are trying to make a mustang handle properly, you are going to 86 the UCAs immediately because they are terrible for a race car. So this is a non-issue.They aren't terribly short. Generally longer is better when it comes to control arms, but there is a trade off when it comes to rigidity and unsprung weight.You are correct in saying they will not work with the OEM links. A watts link and torque arm should be installed at the same time, and subsequently the UCA's are deleted.Very true. Its easier to get a mustang to understeer that it is to make it oversteer.That's why people like myself are in business.An aftermarket K member and spindles add a lot to the front tractionThe main unavoidable shortcoming of the SRA is unsprung weight. Other than that, 95% of factors can be accounted for.Lets not forget that Brett beat a Lotus last season in a SRA/MacPherson strut mustang. Even with that classic MacPherson inside tire positive camber :thumbsup:<img src="https://scontent.fsjc1-2.fna.fbcdn.net/hphotos-xpf1/t31.0-8/11026041_798815170207836_4825512628893615467_o.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /></blockquote>
