Default VB and P Front Monospring System

Need to replace the lower a arms on my vette. At 150.00 plus 100.00 core fee (my arms are not rebuildable) looking into the benefits of spending a few bucks more for the upgrade. Any one have this set up? Pro/cons? Car is used as a sometimes driver/steet car. Thanks in advance for your response. Bob

Search the archives. I know several members are running that setup, there should be some opinions in the old posts.

Default Lower A-arms for sale

Bob,
I have a set of lower control arms that I have just removed from my '82 Vette with 82,000 miles. They are in real nice shape, just need wire brushing and paint to look good. If you are interested I can let you have both lower A-arms for $50 with no core fees.
I am heading to OBX, NC this Friday (06/16/2006) and can bring the parts with me if you wanted to meet up on my drive down or if you have PayPal you can send the $50 plus shipping (probably $30 due to the weight) to me prior to Friday.
I also have a set of upper A-arms for sale.

Let me know,
Christian

Carrera adjustable shocks set on the softest (70/30) setting and the spring is set on the second from the softest setting. I do NOT do any autocross racing (it's got to be great for that). The car does sit a "few" inches lower compared to othe C3s with a stock setup.
