Default SPC upper A-arms for G-Body

Hey guys,

I was looking for a little info on SPC upper A-arms. First off my project Monte Carlo SS will mainly be used for the street but will see a few track events occasionally. I was wondering if these arms are any good on the street? Also are they difficult to get adjusted? Being that my car is a street car is this a good choice for my car?

A little more info on front suspension is: Hotchkiss springs, 2" drop spindles, G-body parts Lower A-arms, 1 5/16" UMI sway bar, Bilstein shocks for now(will be varishock adjustibles later on), all new moog steering parts, quick ratio steering box, all poly bushings, and triangulated front frame brace. 17x8 rim.

Sorry about the novel Thanks in advance for any help.
Andy

I have them on my 68. Nice pieces. My car is setup for mostly street with a little track time. Not difficult to get adjusted, you just have to play with them to understand how they work. Mark gives a great instruction sheet with the set I purchased from him. Give Mark at SC&C a call. He is a great guy to deal with!

the SPC arms are easier to adjust as they dont require shimming but are adjustable... also they allow you to run tall balljointsm giving you an enormous gain in handling on a g-body..

and x2 on calling SC&C.. markus is awesome to deal with
