Ridetech upper control arms

[keith4909]

Need to remove because I can't get enough camber due to header interference.

400.00 shipped
Located in sf Bay Area. I will also try Ridetech in Monday to see if they will refund since they don't fit.

sounds like they fit, just the wrong headers, and any arm you run will more than likely hit.....

[keith4909]

They are hooker headers and I guess my car has more sag then I thought. I can buy a set of SPC arms that don't protrud into engine bay but adjust the arm

[yellow1098Greg]

What car do you have with the hookers?

[keith4909]

1967 Gto

Summits usually good about returns. Sorry they don't fit, headers are great and there's always but....

This is exactly why I went with the SPC arms in my 67 GTO. I had clearance issues on the passenger side with my stock a arms. FWIW those hookers are going to get smashed fast. Ask me how I know. I destroyed a brand new set in 3 weeks on a dip in the road. If they're new, try to return them and get Doug's. I've had both, it's not even a contest on fit and ground clearance.

I'm going to work in trying to clearence them a little more and hopefully I can get them to work, otherwise I'm going the SPC route

[keith4909]

Looks like I'll be keeping them. Fingers crossed on other side

Keith,

In case you still need a set of SPC arms, there is someone on Craigslist selling a set in California. Not mine just happen to see them looking for other stuff. Good Luck!

SPC arms are good arms ....but...remember those are racing gear, designed for regular maintenance intervals, (like on a race car) were they are inspected and greased after every race and then replace most times seasonally....and there is were the problem starts many put them on there car and drive 5000, 10000, 20000 miles or more and never look at them other than saying ohhh thoses are pretty, race components are consumable like oils and fuel......regular tube arms from companies like DSE, RideTech, UMI, Speedtech and so on are designed closer to factory with thicker tubes, bracing and larger bushings to handle the heaveier weight of the muscle cars the turn buckle race style arms are designed with small bushings because the race cars are often a 1000s pounds lighter than your street car....if you use them please inspect them often...say every oil change maybe grease them up look for cracks or bad threads and sticky turn buckles .....just my two cents
