question about A - arms.

I see Spohn offers two types. One with a spring perch and one without. My question is how does the the one without the perches still work. Where does the spring rest??? I have pics here so you guys know what I am talking about. Thanks fellas.

The one without perches are for use with coil overs.

Damn that was fast . Ok thats kinda what I figured. I was wondering though why it took this long for someone to develop an A-arm for our cars that would replace the factory one and retain the spring setup. Thanks man

Kyle, do you have a website for AJE or PA racing? I have seen some of what PA offers on Thunder Racing. Thanks man, any help appreciated. I am swapping in my c4 brakes so I wanna replace the arms since this will gimme a good excuse to do it all at once...

I haven't seen the ones with spring perches.
They look good.
If I could get a ball joint seat made I could build some out of Titanium.

I just did a complete front end rebuild and I used the PA arms just like the black one shown above. Man, these are real nice and light pieces! Went right in with no problems, except the arm would hit the frame a little bit if I moved them way up. I doubt if the arm would ever hit it, but two hits with the hammer got rid of that problem anyway.
