 Hi everyone I hope All are doing well! And those in the east I hope all are warm and cozy in the garage getting the cars ready for spring! Question does anyone have or know about SPC control arms? they advertise a set for corvettes, and they look lighter than stock with more adjustment. Part #92740. Any suggestion or ideas would be great! Thanks Kevin.Ermm

I can't offer feedback on the SPC controls arms, but they do look like a nice piece of work. 
Let me ask you this...are you going to do regular street driving or autocross or a mix of both with your car?  Are you looking functionality or the "wow" factor for a 'restomodded" car by putting these in. These are the questions you have to ask yourself. 
I wish I could be of more help. Let us know what you wind up doing. Beer

I was looking for control arm that are lighter than stock and I happen to see the SPC 92740. I figured that I can better alignment and lose weight at the same time !

If I was rebuilding my front suspension I'd give them a try. They do look really nice.

I've seen them before, but only on racecars. Looks like a ton of fiddling to get everything set correctly....but then, I'm lazy.....LOL
