Hi, I am doing the GW Front upper control arms with the tall spindle conversion on my 66. I was looking at the lowers that they sell. I like the sway bar endlink on it, but other than that plus looking trick, what does this buy me? I am not sure its worth the extra 400 over using DEL bushings and the modified ball joint on a stock lower control arm.

Thanks!

I think the main advantage is that you wouldn't have to worry about it cracking around the ball joint, which is pretty common on stock lowers.

You can weld a gusset in the stock lowers and get the same effect, but the globals are a lot stronger overall.

Also, you have the option to use coilover shocks with the global lowers.

Also, you have the option to use coilover shocks with the global lowersYou can still use coil overs with stock arms, you just need an adapter... The GW come in two versions, one specifically for coil-overs and one for stock springs...

If money is a player you may want to try this other option. I reinforced my lower A arms myself with steel I bought and a welder.

For the uppers I will go with these:

Another advantage is that the tall spindle GW lower will take a B-body balljoint without having to machine the balljoint diameter down as you would to install it in a stock arm.

Other than the strength, balljoint and sway bar mounting, the only other advantage is looking trick. Do they work? Yes. Do they look cool? Most definately. Are they needed? No.
