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.
