WHAAAA?!?!

ok so those control arms WILL bolt on our cars stock... correct?? i didnt read anything that would suggest otherwise anyway. i wonder if they have the correct #'s and such for say stock or aftermarket 'tuner' wheels and not set up to run 2" wide drag pizza cutters.

Those tubular A arms, i see no place for swaw bar endlinks.. Guess that would have to be custom as well

i just got an email back from smith performance....


Our tubular control arms were designed for the front-wheel conversion drag race cars with aftermarket struts.
They will not fit a stock application.
Thanks for your interest.
