There are low resistance control arm bushings and low friction ball joints.

Tubular control arms are not needed to have a free moving front suspension.

Most aftermarket tubular control arms do weird things to camber and toe.

Camber, castor, and toe change from full compression to full extension of front suspension should be an area of focus and effort.

Starting line ratio = first gear ratio & rear axle ratio

How the converter hits the rear tire is a big factor.
