Shelby (Arning) Drop Shock Tower Drill Template and Reinforcement Plate Kit, 1

Shelby 1 Drop. .125 thick 304 stainless steel plate. Each. Laser cut. Use to properly position the holes to relocate the upper control arms 1 lower as was done to the early Shelby GT-350.
Kit includes 2 plates and 4 grade 8 zinc dichromate plated bolts, 4 zinc dichromate plated grade 8 nuts and 4 lock washers.

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. The two plates can be left in place with additional bolts included 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.
