Default F/S - Aluminum Upper Control Arm - Shark Bite

Subject should say "arms" - selling both.

Used - I ended up going with a different set up on my restorod.

780-87426-250 Aluminum Upper Control Arms for 63-82 Corvettes: Polished Finish, Performance Ball Joints

SpeedDirect's aluminum control arms greatly improve your suspension geometry which directly translates into improved handling and cornering ability. This kit provides increased positive caster for greater stability and improved bumpsteer, while relocating the front roll center for superior handling. They are also lighter than both stock and steel tubular control arms. Each side is 4 lbs less than the stock control arm, resulting in an 8 lb weight savings! Designed as a true bolt-on kit, these control arms do not require any modification to the vehicle. Kits are available in natural or polished aluminum finishes and come complete with clear instructions, bushings, cross shafts and optional ball joints.

$675 including shipping

Hey 67Elkhart. I've been thinking about aftermarket uppers too.
Can I ask what brand you did go with and why? (Oh - you still got these for sale ? )

I have these on my car and they are very well made, plus they look cool as hell.

Yes Sir; Speed direct said; I would need a different kind of adapt. for their Spreader Bar to fit your A-arms. Do you have this & the nuts for the ball joints. How long did you use these. I might be interested in them, I can't find out much info. on what they would do for me, on a street car. I've tried to contact you for more info. but no response! Thank-you./ Gene
