      they seem to have an extra support bar going across or is that something else?

      Those cheap undersized generic poly bushings are not the way to go. Especially on a heavy car in NYC.

      No comparison to GW delrin stuff.

      I do not pretend to be some suspension engineer on any level. But I have had just about every set there is available and now what works for me.


      The Pole Position or SC&C arms are probably not the strongest out there but they are a lot heavier and sturdier than they look. I like the rubber bushings over the poly's. They are small but the adjustability of the arms are the selling point. They allow you to make adjustments to make real changes and also add clearnance for your headers which can be a problem. You have to fabricate a bump stop but that is fairly easy.


      The biggest selling point is Marcus. I have only dealt with him once but he knows his stuff. He is selling a designed suspension not parts.

      The taller spindle is from what I understand the key. The arms allow you to make the proper adjustments without a ton of shims otherwise you probably could just use your stockers and the Global West Delrin stuff if you stay closer to stock heights. I did that in a 1967 Chevelle that was used daily and handled incredible for a daily driver.


      By the way I am also building a 1966 Buick Special I just picked up.
