Default SC&C prolite arms w/ QA1 coilovers?

Questions mainly directed towards Marcus, but if anyone can help its appreciated...

Im looking at converting my car to all QA1 coilovers, and i was wondering if the SC&C prolite adj. upper arms would allow me to use the QA1 GM conversion coilovers in the front...

Also, if i use the SC&C upper arms, is there anything i can do about the lower arms, or do the SC&C prolites work best with the stock lowers?

thanks.

I can't answer your questions but I have done business with Marcus and he is 1st class. Not just a vendor but somebody with a wealth of info. No high dollar parts just stuff that makes sense and works.

I can't see why the coil overs wouldn't work with Marcus' arms considering the shock mount is inside the spring anyways. As far as lower arms go there is no camber curve or handling to be gained by changing the lowers. Some people have gone with Afco lowers for strength or some just weld in strengthening plates. Either way no geometry is changed all the performance gain is made with the Uppers.

Wow, i completely spaced out on this post, forgot about the a arm configuration, but thanks for the replys...

I've just started looking into the coilover conversions, i saw Bill Howells car of the month, and noticed his conversion. I was wondering how should i determine where to mount the rear coils...

does anyone have any pics that they would like to share of any coilover conversions, thanks...

Sorry I didn`t catch this thread earlier. Yep,our adj. upper arms work just fine with the QA1 coilover conversion. We even offer threaded lower perches for them that allow the use of conventional 5"OD springs rather than the rather soft QA1 beehive style springs. You can run any lower control arms you like with them also since none currently on the market alter the suspension geometry. Mark SC&C
