Same thing as the Speedways......
The GBody upper tubular control arms are what I'm running (without issue) on my uppers......got UMI tubulars with Delrin bushings on the lowers....

they held up great and a big improvement in handling and feel....just be sure to keep em greased up!

They look identical to the Speedways at an extra $50.00, probably made by the same manufacturer too

I prefer uppers that have some sort of bumper for when suspension is fully extended. I sell the Spohns and installed them on my own GN and the UNREALX project I finished in the fall.

There is also RideTech or DSE front suspensions.... And one thing not mentioned in this thread and that is Geometry Correction! RideTech actually done the research and posted a numbers for us that their front suspension corrects the nasty bump steer that these cars have. RideTech's front suspension corrects the bumpsteer to .050 thousandths through all 5" of suspension travel... Lifetime/ million mile warranty on shocks as well...

Many question the cost right? well Ridetech has now came out with a complete front & rear suspension system for those who want the handling and better ride for a lower cost, One Box-One Solution! $2,500 for everything!

Bump steer is rather crucial when you get on the brakes at 130+mph.

I got everything off and degreased. I like the unpainted look so I think I will leave it that way.

The lower control arm ball joint is bad too, gotta replace it.

I finally finished the front suspension. It rides so much better and handles great even with the sway bar disconnected. I also painted the frame.

Hello,

I need to replace the front brake hoses.

Has anyone tried these?

Go to amazon and look for Russel part number 692100. This will give you all the hoses, and they're made for G bodies.
