you will notice the difference!! I'm looking forward to getting this setup for my GP in the near future.

I am hoping to see a big difference in handling,the wife wasnt to keen on my spending this much money,but what can I say but "Oh Well" 😀

Yeah but it's better to ask for forgivness then permission.. You will notice it and won't regret it, so buy the wifey something nice and everything should be all good...I rode in a buddy's Monte with just the SPC arms and Hotckis coils and a good alignment and it rode like it was on rails!!

I had asked Mark about body bushings,he doesent sell them,but he recommended Polygraphite ones,so I talked to Jason @ PST yesterday and ordered a set,here;

This is something I have been putting off for a few years now,but this is the year to get'er done 😀
I am hoping to notice a big improvement with these 2 upgrades.

I'm just curious why they are $715???? Seems a bit high just for upper A arms. What makes them so much better over stock ones? When I was racing, you could get adjustable ones from Speedway or Day for about $150 a pair. What am I missing here?

 

[GuysMonteSS]

I asked Mark to answer your question,and here is his answer;
"We`re not selling just a pair of A
arms. We`re selling a complete package to literally re-engineer/correct
the front suspension and steering geometry, which includes A arms. It`s
like the difference between buying some wood or a house made out of
wood. 🙂

Thanks, Mark SC&C"

Its kinda like the saying goes,"You get what you pay for".

Ok, so they correct front suspension and they work great, I get it. But why are they so high? It's steel and a ball bearing. I can understand if it was A frames, tie rods, pittman arm, spindles everything for front geometry, but $715 just for A arms????? No one else thinks this is high????? Are they made of some kind of expensive material?

WOW thats a ripoff i never even heard of that company. He probably paid $400 for those arms and jacked the price up to 7 freak that, go to Jegs!

Well fella's,before you go running your mouths off,maybe you should check the prices on those individual peices,like I just did at Summit.Each upper control arm = $ 236.95,each upper ball joint = $91.99,each lower ball joint = $ 85.99.This adds up to a grand total of $ 829.86.And the Howe ball joints included in the kit I bought are a Xtra tall upper and a tall lower,which may be more expensive than the prices at Summit,as I believe those are stock replacement ones.So $ 715 sounds like a pretty good price to me.Maybe before you go bad mouthing a reputable vendor,you should check your facts.
