Overkill control arms two thumbs up

Postby my79monza » Mon Jul 11, 2011 9:29 pm

Received my set of the economy front control arms upper and lower from Justin at Overkill.
They are Awesome!
He may have a one man shop but the product is of the highest quality, my hats off to Justin.

contact Justin for pricing because it depends on just what you want for your application.
I thought they were reasonable for what I wanted.
Absolutely no complaints on my part.

These arms are gorgeous!! I was thinking about how I could do something like this. It's great that they run the stock bushings, but do they run the stock ball joint or do they run S-10 ball joints?
A set of these able to accept S-10 joints would be a life saver when switching to the S-10 spindles.

Thanks Merle. Yeah I found that out after looking a little farther into this board. Found Overkills link and took a peak. At least now I know where to get them should I be fortunate to get my hands on another Skyhawk or 2+2.
