Not a huge fan of Speed Tech's customer service or lack there of. I e-mailed and called them many times early on in my build up, and never got a phone call or e-mail back. Go with DSE.

Global West has better caster built in than either one of those. Plus they originated the aluminum/delrin bushing that everyone is using now a days.
For $499 for a pair, they cannot be beat in terms of performance, and quality.

Tyler,

What are your thoughts on the SC&C upper arms?

Thanks for the help.

Tyler Global West...do they have a lower arm for a coilover setup and where
can i buy them? The Global West homepage is kind of old....

Yes GLobal West has a lower arm for Coil Overs. Here's a link to the 67-69 Global West Suspension page - the arms are about half way down.

You can buy direct from them. Be aware they tend to be slow.

You can go through Global West, or through us, as we are a GW dealer.

True-
The SPC arms are a pretty sweet alternative to the tubular 'norm' that most of us see. They are unique because of the adjustable portions on the arms, and require little to no shimming to dial in. The only down side I can see is letting someone align your car that has no clue what they are doing.
