Upper Control Arms
He is. Peter runs a good business and has some great parts that he makes that no one else does. I've done business with him on several occasions, both on stuff he makes exclusively and stuff he's just a retailer for. Other than the shipping being a little longer because he's on the completely opposite coast from me, I've had no issues. And he's been helpful whenever I've had questions about his products.
That is not to say that we see eye to eye on everything, but that's true for pretty much everyone now isn't it?
Sounds like you have the right plan though, don't forget some greaseable LCA pivot pins if you're going to use poly LCA bushings. They do need to be lubricated, and having the ability to do it later if you have to is very handy.
I run +6.5° caster on my Duster and wouldn't dream of running less, even on the street. And my Duster is my daily, not a track car. It even has 16:1 manual steering, the caster is not an issue. +3.5° caster might be ok with narrower tires, but with the 275/35/18's I run up front you need more to combat the wider tires tendency to track ruts. At +3.5° my 275's would take you where they want to go, the tail wagging the dog as they say. With +6.5° she's rock steady. And I've run everything from +3.5° all the way up to +8° on it, +6.5° is where it wants to be with the set up I have on it.
Most modern cars run +8° of caster or more. A new Challenger SRT8 calls for as much as +10°. Pretty sure that's a street car.
