Shelby Arning Control Arm Drop Template, 1

.125 thick 304 stainless steel. Each. Laser cut.
Use to properly position the holes to relocate the upper control arms 1 inch lower as was done to the early Shelby GT-350.
Also known as the Arning Drop for Klaus Arning, a Ford Engineer, who originally planned the modification. Lowering the control arm will lower the front end approximately 5/8, all other things being equal, but the true enhancement comes from the revised geometry of raising the roll center which acts like a sway bar and resists body roll. Additionally, this will maintain a flatter tire contact patch especially helpful with wider than original tires. Install with the notch pointed forward.
See 3T049-1ASK for our Drop plate kit that will allow you to leave the plates in place for a little extra reinforcement.
See instructions posted online for complete installation information.
Once completed you will need to align the front end with revised specs.
