Vette(s): 1973 Red coupe
It was a good weekend worth of work and well worth it
I purchased the arms from Van Steel. The kit came with the arms and a 1-1/8” sway bar.
After many years and several sets of Moog bushing replacements I decided to go with the tubular arms and Delrin bushings.

I ordered new springs at the same time.
Car runs straight on the road and no more issues with changing lanes every time I hit bumps.
The car sits at the same height as before.

Nice work, Brian! Prolly took some weight off the front too, eh?
