I was looking at Detroit Speed upper control arms and became interested in the adjustment provided by the cross shaft they provide with their product. Found that same shaft on www.cvproducts.com (http://www.cvproducts.com) My question is, would the CV shaft be useful with stock arms or products from GlobalWest or SpeedTech?

ABDR, if you can wait a few weeks for the uppers, we are getting all of the geometry using the GW and DSE uppers with stock lowers. We do not have any ST stuff though. There has been alot of talk about the ST stuff on pro-touring.com. Anyway, we are getting the numbers using the Gulstrand mod, stock, DSE and Thrasher mod. In a little bit the work will be done. Once it is published you can make the best choice for you.

As for the crossshaft, I believe the two are different. As anything with this hobby many look the same, but perform vastly different.

Useful on Global West or ST, no. The GW and ST arms are built with additional caster in them. The DSE caster addition is up to the end user and the adjustment bushings in the cross shafts.
