I would personally recommend against those. Heim joints are not designed for daily use. They will eventually seize up and fail.

This is a much better product.

It may be twice the price for the 4 arms, but its worth it to do it right in the first place.

It was either Ed peters or Jimbo in MI that I recall actually coming out and saying it. But I never liked them to begin with for that reason. There is nothing keeping the dust dirt and grime out of them, so they will eventually get all sludged up and eventually they will not work properly. SPC arm while twice the price will last twice as long

This is a picture of a COMPLEX arm that is FS on the org. Even of this was zinc/nickel treated, the road dust dirt and grime would still cause it to look this bad

I was gonna buy those on the org, but ended up moving on short notice into our first place so finances were altered. He wants $150 shipped IIRC for the one's you have pictured.

Those SPC performance ones have regular rubber bushings, don't they? Poly kit would work fine in them, I'm assuming?

Yes, I helped install a set, we put ES busings in them. they work as stock

Anyone in Michigan is going to have problems with suspension parts rotting from Dirt/grime/salt/water...
That's a known fact.

I'm still gonna get a set, maybe not these exact ones, which appear to look and work fine.. I reallt have to do my entire suspension starting with my struts and Bushings before I even think about these.

Thats Dougs car BTW, Southern car, no rust like the my northern car.

He only really needed 2 of the SPC arm because with it lowered like it was on BC's he couldn't get the toe right. So 2 of the SC arms would allow him to have more toe adjustability. But he go all 4 because if you know Doug, he's stuff is perfect. He wont do anything less

Lol u could get those or get some 1990's toyota camry or corolla rear control arms. They work great and they are solid not hollow, they bolt right up but you need the bolts out of the car u got them out of.
