C3 fabrication makes excellent rear control arms. Can find it on ebay, not cheap but affordable. Come with bushings already in.

i went to c3's site and i think its down or its just not woring on my computer. and i didnt even notice they didnt have any holes, well thats out of the question now. im looing to spend about 200 at the most if i can. a member had a se for cheap and i shoulda jumped at it but it got sold fast.

welded 1/8 steel to my stock arms. that is what the factory fix was for wheel hop on the GTO back in the day. They "boxed" them for increased strength. I put in stiffer bushings from a 1LE f car. It worked great and was relatively cheap.

1979 ratrod, if you can wait, I'm going to be buying those exact ones at the end of this month when my next check comes in. Yeah they don't have holes for the sway bars, but how hard is it really to pick up a drill? Finally a set of control arms you don't have to pay for the name.

I picked up a set like that from Speedway motors. It came with the bushings. I think it was $180+ shipping. I didnt care about the "no holes" cuz Im gonna run the rear sway from Spohn.....I have the c-3 fab setup on my SS and love it. The site has been messed up for a lil bit now..

i feel like you could almost make a set on your own out of aluminum or steel, anyone do it?
