Control Arms, Ford Performance, Steeda or something else?

[Dave TBG]

I've had a couple boxes of parts sitting around for a while (list below in sig), I gathered it all in hopes of installing "phase 1" before boating season. I didn't make that goal, this is the second weekend that I've been at home since mid March.
It's time to get going and get these boxes emptied, but, it occurs to me that black Friday might be an opportunity to move the front control arms from phase 2, up to phase 1. The car is an EB, not EBPP, the goal has always been to upgrade well beyond PP so no point ordering it with PP parts that I'd be pulling back off. I've found good prices on both the Steeda and Ford Performance parts, I haven't figured out exactly what the differences are.
The FP parts seem to be the same parts used on the PP, correct?
The Steeda parts include roll center correction, this is said to be a benefit for cars lowered 0.5" or more. I'm hoping to sit about a half inch lower on the new springs, but with the slightly lighter EB, it might not even be that much. Any benefit to the Steeda parts in this case? Are there any other differences between them?
Does anyone else have a similar product that I need to consider?

I'd strongly recommend the Steeda roll center correction arms.

Thanks for your input. I shouldn't be concerned that it might be too much correction for not enough drop?

I don't think so. My car is only lowered ~0.65" up front and it's pretty much perfect...definitely one of the best changes I made. Keep in mind that the GT350 has similar correction and your car sits a bit lower. It makes the front end grip and feel just "right".

Thanks again.

What parts on the gt350 correct for the drop geometry change? I thought endlinks and ball joints were the same height as GT.
I'm planning on the steeda with bearing arms after reading several peoples reviews. Heard the correction isn't critical but the change is noticeable and a plus none the less.

The lateral arm ball joint seat is significantly taller, raising the roll center. The amount is similar to the difference between the steeda and stock lateral arms.

Great info thank you!
