I have them on my S10 and they seem to work great. Hey Diabolical have you made any control arms yet. When you slow down and make some let me know I am in the market for lowers.

[Diabolical]

Yes, I have.. I was just talking to Bobby (onehookinsuv) about them..
I will post some pics later of mine.
The main reason I haven't posted any pics is because I know I will get swamped with orders..
Trust me..they are bad ass!

I am trying to catch up with everything.. Once I have I will take orders again.. I hate to make people wait.. I made a jig so they will be easy to produce.

Thanks for posting that link again Bobby :) You knew I would ask for those numbers again..lol

[muk]

im interested too

[lxtasy]

az03sonoma How long did you wait before you received them? A couple of weeks ago they were on backorder :(

I actually ordered them March 6th and they were on backorder then... I just got them last Thursday so, maybe they are caught up on the backorders now.

[Diabolical]

what is the bolt and braket on the a arm for

[Diabolical]

Its a limiter so the front suspension wont hang down too far..

[AlteredRacer]

If you guys want lower control arms and want them now you can check these guys out:
www.gbodyparts.com

These are nice pieces. Where I bought mine from

[quicks10]

i will pick up some later. since my front end is wore anyway.

[loner62quiet]

What length is everyone running on the speedway arms and which ball joints?

[1slowdime]

What length is everyone running on the speedway arms and which ball joints?

X2 two 8'' or two 8.5'' for lowered rides need to know or one of each idk

[Mark @ Hammerhead Racing]

Sweet tip thanks a ton! I had heard that you could use some cheap tubulars but wasn't sure exactly what ones? I wonder if they would fit a '70-'81 Camaro as well? Hmmmm................

[Mark @ Hammerhead Racing]

X2 two 8'' or two 8.5'' for lowered rides need to know or one of each idk

Looks like (2) right hand side 8 inchers and stock ball joints I'm guessing?

[Diabolical]

I have 2 (8" ones) I will be selling..
I am getting ready to make my own and they have to be 8.5" because I'm sitting so low.

[Mark @ Hammerhead Racing]

How much Mike?

[Diabolical]

These are the ones I got

You will need a 7 degree reamer for your spindles..

We will talk ;)

[1slowdime]

so with a 3 inch drop would i need the 8'' or 8.5''

[Diabolical]

Definitely the 8.5.. I am running a 4" drop and I have ZERO adjustment..
I was thinking about building a set of 9's a shimming it out..
I'll check the geometry closer when I go to build mine..
At 3" you will be fine with the 8.5" and be able to adjust..
I am seriously going to wear out my tires If I keep running like this.

[jdrags10]

Are yal using dropped spindles as well? Cause mine is way lower and I am using 8" upper control arms without a problem. And stock lowers with modifications to bump stop area.

[Diabolical]

Nope.. I am using a dropped lower a-arm but it is exactly the same as a stocker..
The spring bucket is lower by 3" and I am using 1" drop springs. (Stock spindles)

I measured the mounting point to the ball joint on the lowers.. They are exactly the same.

If you go over to the (hempfh..) low rider community.. They will tell you the same thing..
After about 3" you need to go with a 8.5 to get the proper adjustment..
(at least with the ability to adjust)

Are you running any shims? I want a pic! ;)

[1slowdime]

I have drop spindles on mine i wanna go a little lower so i may be cutting the springs

i love the way your truck sits wish my 2nd gen looked that good

[jdrags10]

Yes I am running shims.
http://i914.photobucket.com/albums/ac348/jdrags10/0043.jpg

[1slowdime]

i have shims on the factory upper arms. Also what brakes do you have jdrags?and why do you run that diff ball joint is the bolt in style just as good or is ther a performance diff?

[jdrags10]

Brakes are aerospace. But I did some machine work to them. Didn't like the way they fit from them. And ball joints are just because that's what the local company had in stock and they just look cleaner to me.

[1slowdime]

They do look cleaner did you have to reem them or anything

[jdrags10]

Yes. Had to ream them like diabolical posted above. Reamer is about $100 But your local circle track shop should have a reamer and be able to do it for you

[1slowdime]

might just go with the bolt in style so i dont have to reem them

[1slowdime]

What exactly do they reem it for just the diff ball joints or what sorry for all the questions

[jdrags10]

They ream because of a different taper on different ball joints. Look at the pic diabolical posted. There is a 7 and 10 on tapers. He taper of the ball joint should match the taper inside the spindle.

[1slowdime]

ok i see thanks for the info. There is a little circle track place local i will see if they have a reamer. The more i think about it the better i like the look lol
