Been looking to upgrade the a-arms and front brakes to disc on my 66 Skylark. I found this setup for sale locally and I was wondering if someone can ID these tubular a-arms. They are listed for a 68-72 Chevelle. Thanks
Those do not have any provision for a droop bumper so when it is on jacks, the arms will hit the frame possibly. Also, there's no cross bracing so I'd be a little concerned about daily use.
My spc arms also do not have a droop bumper. The shock is currently the limiting factor for droop but I plan on adding a limiting strap. I doubt I’ll ever droop that far on the street but it’ll still make me feel better. With that said, not sure id bother with that setup unless it’s dirt cheap and you need disk brakes
I had SPC arms with the tall Howe ball joints. I used stock spindles instead of the tall spindle swap and it required cutting and bending on the upper A-arm mount as well as no droop stopper. The nice, red anodized aluminum arms hit the frame. I replaced them with a set of CPP upper and lower tubulars with the Pro-Forged tall ball joint. Really makes it handle nice. I've got positive caster and it is aligned like a newer car. Handling is much improved. Very close to neutral with a hint of understeer and oversteer just a rap of the throttle away.
