These are a good deal on flea bay. I am looking for an adjustable upper and these are "natural" finish, but I have parts going to the coaters in a few weeks and this would be free to do. These look like the UMI's, but at $80 cheaper they have me curious. Thanks

Those things look like they were thrown together with some extra plumbing fittings to me. If somethings price is usually too good to be true its for a reason.

When you compare these and the UMI arms side by side they do look a bit cheesy. I am going all poly in my lowers and rearend housing mount for the uppers. Is it better to go spherical where the uppers mount to the chassis or with poly?

Those Spohn units are too cool. I like the fact you can take them apart for cleaning, lubricating, inspection, and adjust the free play. Those are now at the top of my list for rear lower control arms.

Hey Andy,

Here is a Thread on them and I think SKeeveman has a set on his chevelle.
