Name: Offset Upper A-Arms

Name: Offset Upper A-Arms 1963-82 Corvette
Desc: NEW! Lower price! Offset arms offer improved castor and camber alignment ranges, are lighter and stronger than stock arms.
id say its for the pair but they do have a 800 number to check

You might have seen the pics of Van Steel's new tubular control arms. Van Steel and VB&P are different companies. Van Steel's control arms look a lot beefier than the VB&P arms.

Rick B. - who can't afford either companies control arms - dang!

Edit - now that I looked at the title of your post I see that you were referring to the Van Steel arms. I never look at the titles other than the thread title.

Default Vbp Control Arms

Hello Everybody,

I am back from a short vacation and I am sorry I missed all the posts. First, I would like to thank Collectskulls and Cosmicvette (whoever you are) for the kind words. You guys are the reason I am the way I am. I love helping out and making it go as smoothly as I can. Getting feedback like this really makes it all worthwhile. I have only been in the Corvette industry four years and have found all Corvette owners to be really great, fun, helpful people. I love it and I hope I can continue to help everyone out. I have actually learned most of what I know from my customers. I don't have hands on experience or know exactly why or how the products work, but I am learning. I can guide you through our products to get you going in the right direction.

Now back to business. The price for the control arms is for the "pair". Apparently in our computer system the unit of measure is listed as "each" even though the word description is plural. We just corrected this when I saw this post. We should be good to go.

If you have any questions or if I can help in anyway, please email through the forum or directly at pattie@vbandp.com.

Best Regards,
Pattie

Sorry KALAWAY, I bought his Vette a couple months ago for a Toonie. I'm just waiting until he puts on the rest of his mods before I pick it up. After all........he's already paid for storage.
