First time poster. Looking for the center-to-center distances of the mounting holes on stock upper and lower rear control arms?
 
I can't answer your question. But let me guess, you're making your own set of trailing arms?
 
You're correct. I have a CAD drawing ready to share but need the center-to-center. Worst case, we'll have the Regal in the air this weekend.
 
You should get the dimensions from your own car if you are planning to have non adjustable arms. If you want more info, PM me and I will talk to you about designing your own arms. I build custom arms for customer race cars. I don't sell them.
Dick Miller makes good rear suspension products.
 
I wanted to do the same thing a few years back when I was working at a machine shop. But I could never find out the specs. What are you gonna use for material?
 
1.5" x 2" x .120" rectangular steel tubing for the arms, 2" OD x .25" wall DOM steel tubing for the ends, upper arms will have 1/4" flat bar bent into a C-shape and reinforced on top, Energy Suspension bushings sets.
 
Sounds cool. When I was gonna try doing that my plan was to use solid aluminum. But I don't know if that would have been good or not lol.
