how do you put in your coil spring?

These are uppers, not lowers so the spring doesn't matter. Man, these are neat and the price is about right. Notice the mention of early Camaro ones. Great find, Touring 72!!
Now if we can just find a reasonably priced tall spindle that suits our needs??? pdq67

I'm scared!!!

In looking at the photo, the only resistance to fore and aft (braking forces) would be the arm that appears to be welded to the ball joint mount!! All the other joints appear to be pivots. (and would have to be in order to adjust it)

That one arm would have to resist all the braking force in "bending"!! A normal A-arm's members work in tension and compresion.

Maybe I'm missing something, (totally possible) but I sure wouldn't run one on the street or recommend it to anybody.

.
The Adjustable Upper Control Arms are currently being raced very successfully on Baby Grands (oval and ROAD RACE), IMCA Modifieds, Featherlite Southwest Tour Cars, Nascar sanctioned Late Models, PRO-TRUCKS, Grand American Modifieds, and Super Stocks, as well as SCCA TRANS AM, Solo I and Solo II cars. The list of racers and chassis builders utilizing the benefits of these arms is growing everyday. (copyed from site)
I can't argue with this with my little streeter!!!
