Default ??? Global west trailing/control arms ???

I was shopping summit racing and found global west products in the
suspension section at really good prices so I have to ask, has any
body else used them? Their products looks like they would add
performance to a car that will be driven aggressively.

What do you think? Thanks for any and all help.

Riggs.

I ordered them through my dealer over here. For example Summit seems to have them with short delivery time.

Yes www.summitracing.com is a dealer. Their prices are better than the
manufacture web site.

I wonder how strong their trailing arms are, I might have to try them
out but it won't be any time soon, I'm rebuilding the front end now.

Default Global West had a great reputation in fourth gen camaro parts.

I wanted to buy a lot from them last fall when they had a big sale on 4th gen camaro parts but now they sell nothing for the 4th gen camaro online. Looks like they may have reorganized or at least just unloaded 4th gen camaro stock.
They are the only company selling a Del-a-lum bushings which is claimed to be an improvement over even poly. I don't think u will do wrong using their products.

Hope this helps,

We have Global West's parts on one of our older Pontiacs. Very good quality parts. Couldn't tell much of a difference between them and Hotchkis.

Those look really good. Looks like both sets are out of stock right now though.

Uppers at Summit are $599

Lowers at Summit are $729

This is $50 cheaper on the upper and $120 cheaper on the lowers.
