Ok has anyone used these control arms? Would these be ideal for street driving?

I am looking at making my malibu into a good street car with good handling capabilities. I am on a low buck budget and these would be a great swap.

You better search this topic a bit more.

I think you have to buy 2 of the same side & turn one upside down. I remember reading something along those lines but don't remember the exact details.

You need 2 right side arms. 91031133-R on speedwaymotors.com. The other arms won't work. Yes, they will work fine on the street.

huh?

Ok so what you are saying is that you have to get 2 of the right side? Um i dont understand why you have to get both of them for the right side. Can anyone explain why?

I am in the Navy and if the reason is "just because", I am trained to understand that answer.

I wish more people would accept "just because" :lol:

The left arm is too long for proper alignment. The righ arm is perfectly symmetrical when you flip it so that's what we do.

good enough

Thanks for all you help. I am going to order in a month or so and we will see how easy they are.
