I've heard some people mention something about something called "speedway control arms". Apparently they are very inexpensive upper control arms?? Can someone give me some more information about these??

Are these them??

If so are they a bolt-in to a g-body? My uppers and lowers are warped and in dire need of replacement.
 
damn, those are cheap, i would like to know which ones fit also, and if they are just as strong as the others out there? cause for that price, imma buy several sets, in case they up the price later...
 
They work just fine. But have solid brushing so keep them greased. Also they have no provisions for bump stops. They.are intended for circle track not daily driving. But take care of.them and you'll be fine

are the other ones that much better or easier to deal with... etc.?
 
no its just the other ones seem to have more street friendly features. just make sure you grease them religiously and you should be fine. but i am sure someone here that actually runs them will chime in.
 
They work fine with the stock spindle and brakes. You'll want to order two rights that are 8 inches center to center. As mentioned above, if they get lots of street use, you'll want to make sure you grease them although that is a very simple task.
 
So. Where do the shocks and springs go?? There is no shaft or place for the spring and shock...

Uppers don't have them, just the lowers. Spring/shock bolts to the frame up top.
