Control Arms

Hey, can anyone tell me what the affect of changing the control arms would have on the suspension??

I am wondering about changing the angles, length, or anything I guess. I don't know much about them, but am curious of the benefits or disadvantages of doing so.

Thanks.

Ya, I knew they were different, but some stuff is similar between the two cars.

If the lower control arms are changed to a shorter one, that stiffens up the suspension a bit, and limits the wheel movement right?

Not sure about the benefits, but apparently you'd be one step farther towards being able to drop that KL-ZE in your Pro!
