Re: SDT Control Arms
No experience with them but pictures of the parts look good quality, and that seems like a decent price!

I used all Founders stuff also Jim. I don't trust some Fleabay stuff that looks to good to be true.

Just a heads up, DO NOT use LCA's that have Poly on both ends.
They bind even on the street and cause horrific snap oversteer.
I was almost sent off an AutoX course because of those awful Poly-poly LCA. They got stuck in a turn and when I went to change direction, the axle wouldn't rotate. Then it SNAPPED back like an angry animal.

You want LCA with one end Poly and one end a spherical joint. Either a heim joint or pseudo joint like UMI Roto joint or sphoons del sphere
If you are racing, use a LCA with rods on both ends.
Same goes for the panhardbar.

you also want adjustable ones.
you definitely want the ability to adjust your axle.
our cars are super old and the axle is almost never centered perfectly.
and if you lower your car even a little, the axle won't be centered.

McLovin, thanks for the heads up, for the those very reasons I decided after additional research to go with the Global West control arms with rubber bushings on the chassis side and and spherical bearings on the axel end. https://www.globalwest.net/camaro-re...1987-1988.html
Seemed like a good compromise for a car that is occasionally driven in a sporting fashion on the street, but not going to be raced. As I intend to keep the stock ride height I went with the non-adjustable arms and Panhard rod. I also ordered the S&W subframe connectors and torque rod.
