Thanks, couldn't find it.

I was gonna tell you, those are now non-existant.

Sorry.

[Blk Mamba]

I thought they were still available last year.

[musclemerc]

It's been awhile.

Blk Mamba - Thanks, couldn't find it.
The part # has been superseded with - 5W1Z-5500-CA *$89.17 retail / $64.15 wholesale.

HOWEVER ... Not sure if they're the same as the originals -

Although after seeing them now they look thin around the bushin area.

Why should someone do this mod?

Control arms plus a stiffer rear sway bar really improves the car's handling.

You should also do the front sway bar.

Understand that the Metco control arms have harder bushing.

The musclemerc control arms have the stock bushings.

I don't know what type of bushings are in the Sparta control arms.

All three controls arms are an improvement over stock, but you may want different bushings than the stock ones because that will make a difference in handling.

Sparta CA bushing use Delran or (rin) bushings. We have them on the SB and they are awesome. They come in many colors and are less expensive than the Metco's. Not sure what Musclemerc charges for his. Sparta is a vendor for many suspension goodies here. Reinhart sells the Metco stuff and Musclemerc of course sells his own line. Check the Vendor section for more info.

The Sparta CA'c are very nice.
I have the limo uppers and I made my own adjustable lowers with solid rod ends.
They DO make some noise as they start to wear.
Sparta is working up a set of ends with their most excellent bushings for my adjustable lowers - who's better than Tommy!!

I have the Sparta CA, Addco front/rear bars and Moog front end links. Car is way, way better than stock and well worth the money invested.
