    OK you Chevelle whiz's.   It seems that 1968 SS hinges and correct springs are somewhat of a anomaly. From what I am gathering the repro ones are only recommended for the lighter repro hood. The NOS ones I have seen look nothing like mine, for Pontiac Ventura, guess it just happens to fi

But the point is,Steve,you are not paying for the same thing. Have you ever looked closely at a GW tubular A-arm? They look much beefier than the Spartan units and are braced a lot more. What bushings do the Spartan units come with? Are the Spartan units available with DelaLum bushings? Does

After looking at my options on tubular a-arms, I have decided to replace my 2 cracked lowers with another stock set. It seems that all these wheels up launches are killing my car.

They are not the cheapest but my preference is the Global West a-arms. Well built and available with Delalum bushings and coilovers. Fatman Fabrications sells a set of decent tubular a-arms that would probably work well on your application,also. Clint HooperH&H Custom,ownerLT5 Registry Direct
