Control Arms

[karfreek]

It appears there are three 'different' aftermarket control arms available for our cars: SPC, Eibach, and Raybestos. Looking at pictures of them online it seems they are all the same. Are they the same and if not, which is the best?

They're pretty much the same. I have the Raybestos and got them from RockAuto.

The Eibach control arms and bushing kits are made by SPC. The SPC/Eibach front upper control arm kits allow for 2 degrees of caster and camber adjustment where the Raybestos kits are just an OEM replacement. The SPC/Eibach rear camber kits come in .75 and 1.5 degree kits and are just an offset bushing using 2 bushings on each side.

I beg to differ on Raybestos. While Raybestos does offer an OEM replacement, they offer an adjustable control arm through their acquisition of Spicer. I have the Spicer/Raybestos adjustable control arms on my car.

I paid roughly $414 (excluding shipping & handling) for the set.

DAMN - That's an awesome price.

I need to replace mine, now I know who to call. Thanks

you looking for the front only? I paid $279 + tax/free shipping. Had them less then 48 hours!! These guys are great and contacted me every minute of transaction. I have these installed on my car for almost a week now and are incredible. It also fixed my clunk because my ball joints were shot. Good luck

I think they also beat any price.

Is anyone running the aftermarket adjustable control arms with 255/55-18s? With the 255s the OD of the tire comes damn close to the ball joint stud, this looks like it may be longer.

Thanks.

I run Vred's 275/40-20's and lowered 1.7" with the same UCA units and no issues.

I have 22" viper rims with adjustable upper control arms with zero issues.
