One thing very cool about the Thuren Front UCAs is that they were designed to clearance/work with big tires..even with factory +19mm offset..where as almost every other UCA needs 0/+1mm offset to clear at a minimum.
They put a lot of research and design into their UCAs.
I'm looking at the Thuren F-UCAs, and R-U/L UCAs and Track bar when I go to Fox 2.5 PEs.
The Rear bars will take the "preload" torsional resistance that the OEM bushings cause out of the equation..the Delrin lined Thuren joint have zero resistance forces..and the NVH is actually minimal, so no downside.
I set up a 2000 Camaro SS Convertible with a rear 12 bolt Strange axle (heavy weight) and used West Coast CUs and Track bars that used the same type joints as the Thurens and that car "almost" felt like a independent suspension afterwards..it was shocking!
I did try the same trick with a 2008 Mustang Shelby GT500 using Spohn UCs and Track bar, but their joints aren't quite the same as the Thurens and WCs, so the Mustang didn't quite get to the Camaro level.
Delrin style joints articulate very smoothly..and as long as you have really good (read..comfy) shocks/struts, as in the Fox PEs, and use a tire that is compliant, you'll be golden!!
My passion is suspension stuff..I've tried just about everything at one time or another on almost everything. Dialing on a perfect suspension is super satisfying!
