Default T1 Control Arms

Just picked up a used T1 suspension for my 04 Z. What's the difference between the stock Z control arms and the T1s. Only thing I found is that the T1 bushings are supposed to be stiffer. Is that all or is there more?

Thanx

True that, but there are +/- to both, I have used both. The t1's are a pretty decent upgrade, there are organizer rulz, there are maint issues, the whole install thing, the squeaks, etc,

Isn't it only the upper control arm that's any different? I pretty sure I remember it being just one or the other; upper or lower. The other is normal rubber.

I think it's just the upper also, but I don't know that for 100%.

When I got the "full" T1 kit it just came with an upper CA.

No front lower & no rears.
