-possible new parts- front control arms

[dohcfiend]

base price was $250 for fixed and PC black. I paid a little over $300 for adjustable and PC red. he sells the trailing arms too, i would have gotten them if i didn't already have gm ones. his are poly btw.

Update: I have a quote, unfortunately it wasn't as cheap as i had hoped. That's how the cookie crumbles you know. He said it was more difficult than he thought.

As of now the standing ballpark is $380 for a set for 10 people. price will go down for more peeps and up for less but not alot.

He said he will take calls and collect payment info and when they are at the midway point, he will get 1/2 up front and the other half when they are done.

If any of you know me or my domain know that 75% of my suspension is held motorsports. So it is no surprise that held will be doing these control arms.

for those of you coming in late, they will be tubular with poly bushings and powder coated black for free and other colors are a little more. They will be designed as a stock replacement but i believe he may do altered configurations on request but i am sure it will cost more.

Contact lee @ 616-893-1433 let him know you are interested and give him your info. I am not sure what his minimum is so we'll see how it pans out. I do know if we get 10, it will be a sure thing.

So, let's start a new list. knowing what it will cost and who is making them, who is down for a set? go!

I can't let Jamie have the best handling w-body in town. LOL

That pricing kinda hurts on this end. I know it's a GREAT buy still. Plus, a guy would have to buy ball joints yet. Just puts it over the top as of this moment.

I'm out...I hate to do it, but more than I can spend right now

[HayesPerformance]

I'll have to decide wiether I still want two or one set.

Is he going to make them with grease fittings by the way?

i do not know for certain but i would imagine they will be greasable poly bushings. best way to find out is give him a call.

i don't think i can swing the $$ right now.

[gpchris]

Yeah.. a lil bit expensive for me right now. Maybe I should get my car running before I mod it. I'm still interested though. Its a MAYBE

These mount to your stock ball joints.

Which are rivetted in. Mine are bad anyways.

[GTP_MuNkY]

Stock replacements are bolted on. All you have to do is drill out the rivets and bolt on the new ones. I got an entire front end kit from www.p-s-t.com, including ball joints, outer tie rod ends and control arm bushings. I'm not sure if they sell the ball joints on their own though.

have all 4 of you called lee to give him your info? i am going to call him tomorrow and see if he can go foward with 5 or at least find out what the bare minimum is.

As of now the chances to get 10 are slim and none.

he isn't going to hit you for it all at once, from what lee told me he would do 190 when he starts and 190 when he finishes.

come on, we are never going to get any aftermarket parts if nobody want to pay for them. I am sorry if i cannot bring forth prices from summit or jegs. We have to try to step up. I do not need the world but i would like 10 and would be impressed with 8.

One of the biggest strengths of the 1st gen w-body is the handling, anyone that has done suspension modification(namely either stiffer springs or a coilover kit)will tell you. We cannot let this one go.

Can you tell I want to see these get made yet...lol

For those of you interested but not wanting to commit, can you at least do me 1 favor then? Can you call(i would prefer a call) or at least email the guy and let him know that you are interested in the control arms and it is something you would like to see??????
