Default Great place for upper and lower rear control arms

UMI Performance. Found them on Ebay and ordered an upper and lower control arm kit. Easy install, VERY fast shipping. Just figured I would let everyone know in case anyone was looking to replace theirs. The lower arms also have provisional holes for a rear sway bar. While I was under the rear, I replaced the springs with some stock height (for now) MOOG springs and Monroe SensaTrac shocks that I got from O'Reilly Auto Parts.

I bought a set of UMI upper control arms from a seller here in MI. They look like good quality to me.

Those look pretty nice! When I rebuild the rear end of my car I may look into these.

Use caution with online purchases, especially eBay. There are a lot of counterfeit parts being sold. Big article in Hotrod magazine about it.

Yeah, I read that too. I didn't realize there were so many counterfeit parts out there! Might spend a little more money but you would know what you are getting if you get it from the source.
