Have seen pictures only of Edelbrock and Hotchkis lower control arms. They both have the same shape and both have grease fittings, with the Hotchkis .005 thicker, costing about $45 more than the Edelbrocks. Preparing to buy soon. Whats the Hot set up. I know Hotchkis is an excellent brand name, but if it does exactly the same job as the Edelbrock costing $45 cheaper, I would think the Edelbrocks would be the way to go. What do you think????

I think I would look into Global West before purchasing anything. The GW arms have Delrin bushings which are 100X better than poly bushings.

I've seen the Global ads. What is Delrin? and why is it better than poly or rubber?

Delalum's are a bushing made of an aluminum shell and delrin liner which is a product of a teflon base. The bushing is WAY better as it provides totally free movement to pivot while totally eliminating any deflection. It also has incredible wear characteristics.
