Aftermarket control arms for camaro clip

[Tri5Nerd]

I've been searching for a nice set of control arms for the 71 - 79 Camaro clip and damn those are rear and pricey, does anyone make a set that won't take all my saving? Or are there other years aftermarket control arms that can be used?

What exactly are you trying to accomplish? If the price is the only concern, there are circle track units available for less than $50 per side. Of course, nothing can be straight forward: "NOTE-This control arm does not use a stock camaro ball joint, (all) of the ball joints that we offer require reaming stock spindle."

I'm trying to replace the heavy pieces of metal that's used for the upper and lower control arms, I saw that exact one when looking but it's not really a direct fit, I notice that the 68 - 69 control arms are plentiful and has a reasonable price point.

Here's a pic of the kind I'm using on my build and the place I got them from.
If you talk to Marcus over there he has a wealth of info on suspension.
You may be able to get the same ones cheaper through Jegs or Summit.

Hey look under the suspension thread and there is a guy that has a link to someone selling on ebay that sell for $265-$395. They appear to be very nice!

If you're going to spend the money, go to Heidt's. They make one an inch shorter and you can use the inch for wheels and steering clearance, believe me.

What about drop spindles? If the a-arms from speedway use different balljoints
Couldn't you use 68-69? Anything else maybe?

I have drop spindles that I'm installing now and I would like to know what is the difference between the 68-69 and the 70's control arms?

They are located in Pennsylvania but have very good customer service. Jegs and Summit sell the same arms now but didn't when I was looking for mine.
I learned about them from a Chevelle site I'm also on.
