Any issues doing the 1" Shelby Drop on the upper control arm and also using Bump Steer tie-rods on a 1970 Mustang? I know the Shelby Drop helps with the suspension travel and the bump steer tie-rods help with suspension travel toe-in characteristics. Will doing both cause any problems or is it the thing to do? Thanks.

i would recommend using both together. when you lower the upper arms you change the relationship between the LCA's and the tie rods thereby increasing or exaggerating the bumpsteer. the bumpsteer tie rods will be able to correct this but you need to measure the bumpsteer.
