FS: Spohn Chrome Moly front control arms, Delrin Bushings, for Coil Overs

This is a set of never installed or used Spohn front control arms. I purchased these for my GTA but went with the BMR K-member so I had to use the BMR control arms instead of these (they are not compatible). I test fitted one of the arms (left one) and that is when I realized they weren't going to work so there are a few nicks in the powdercoating on that one. As you can see in the picture, they still look new.

These have all the upgrade options available. They are powder coated red, have the optional greaseable Delrin bushings, Moog Problem-Solver ball joints installed, and are 100% TIG welded from 4130 chrome moly 1.25"x.095" tubing.

These WILL NOT work with stock springs. You MUST convert to front coil overs as they do not have spring pockets. They do have Sway Bar provisions.

Here they are:



I paid over $470 for them... I would like to get $375 plus shipping out of them.

So you want the distance between the inner edges of the bushings?
----------
If so, it is 9" across the base of the "A" from the inner edges of each bushing.

Sorry Stangetr, but I didn't see this until now. But 350 shipped is too low and obviously it is too late to hit your deadline.

TTT, still for sale.

Re: FS: Spohn Chrome Moly front control arms, Delrin Bushings, for Coil Overs

Are these both sets of upper AND Lower Arms Or????? Have pity on my ignorant mind and give me a little more information. Also, what would I need to do to install a front set of coil overs????? (I'm also assuming that they'll fit the stock 88 IROC K-Member without incident???????
Sincerely, Nitro

Re: FS: Spohn Chrome Moly front control arms, Delrin Bushings, for Coil Overs

Thirdgens do not have upper control arms. They only have lowers. These will work fine with the stock K-member but they will not work unless you get coil overs since they do not have spring pockets/seats. You would need to purchase a coil over kit from somebody like Spohn. The coil over kits are direct bolt ins and require no real modifications. The threaded adjuster and spring will slide onto the strut and take the place of the stock spring as far as supporting the car's weight. I don't know about the other kits but the Spohn one comes with stronger upper strut mounts and support plates that greatly strengthen the wheel wells that will be carrying the weight of the car.

By going to coil overs and these control arms you will be taking a lot of weight off the car and making it stronger as well as gaining adjustability for ride height in the front.
