spc upper arm quick question

[cdrod]

Wow looks like a nice setup. Be careful of stock lowers. Mine are 46 years old and the moog lower bj fell out when I lifted my car by the lower control arm! Got me SPC lowers today :-)

I hear you on the lower control arm warning, I read lots of scary stories on the web of guys breaking the lower arms and grinding to an uncontrolled stop on the roadside. My ball joints were really tight when I pressed them in and I de-burred and stress relieved the arms as a precautionary measure to keep cracks from forming. I'm also running stock Moog rubber bushings which should help cushion the ride. This will be my daily driver and I not really going for all-out cornering. Weight was another part of my decision to stay with the stock arms as the tubular arm are considerably heavier and one of my suspension goals for this project was to reduce unsprung weight to improve handling response.
