Not an ad...I just bought these... 48-IDAS is my Ebay ID...Just to let people know about these. They are CPP arms and ship from CPP.
Very nice,well built parts on a budget!
Fantastic price! But, I didnt see anything in the ad that says cpp. How did you find that out? By the way, I am a ebay rookie, I probably missed something.
It does not say what brand in the ad,but the box shipped direct from them...
By the time you buy performance bushings and ball joints,have your stock A arms...that might be bent...Powder-coated,get the bushing and ball joints pressed in,it's not much difference in $$.
Plus the geometry is improved,and these won't move around in the frame.They are also grease-able,others were not,so they will be quiet.
The 6472 part numbers match the ones in their catalog,but the letters after them are different.I'm guessing these are the offshore made version.There are no markings on them.
The welds,fit and finish and general feel of them are excellent.I'm sure I could double my money selling them at a show...

I ordered mine back in April and was quite surprised to see the CPP labels on the box. Mine are installed and they work pretty good. The only recommendation I'd make is to put a 90 elbow grease fitting in the pivot of the lower control arms. Looks like it will be a problem to grease assembled.
I haven't had mine aligned yet as I just got it all together last night and I put the tall ProForged ball joints in the top to improve the handling even more.
I had SC&C provided Spohn arms and their tall ball joints for a while and they worked well but I really wanted a bump stop again. These arms were well made, nicely finished and CHEAPER than refurbing my lowers with new bushings, ball joints and sway bar bushings.
I'll post some pix of the arms installed soon...Just scored a set of new SSBC 2" drop spindles for $99 to avoid chopping my new springs up...
I'll pick up some 90 deg. zerks...I've had the same problem with front end parts.No way to grease them on the car with the fittings that are on them!

Exactly. Everything else looks easy enough to get to but as soon as the arms were bolted in and I saw where they were, I knew I should have put some 90's in there. At full droop, if I had 90 degree grease gun head, it would still be do-able but I'm going to swap them for 90s as soon as I get time.
Here's a phone pic of my lowers going in. I did weigh them. They are 3lbs a side heavier than the stock ones. Small price to pay for solid parts that improve the handling.
There is a safety issue with reusing the stock arms...after 40 years on the car,who knows the stresses they have endured.On the CPP tech site,they were just going to re-bush the arms on the PHR Chevelle,but noticed small cracks in them.Most people probably wouldn't clean the arms well enough to inspect for that.
I am lucky I have the paperwork from my GTO since it was delivered...it was involved in something that made them replace one upper control arm,and dented the oil pan pretty good.That's why I started looking at upgrading the suspension...That,and it floats like an old Caddy on the Interstate!
