Application: 1982-1992 GM F-Body – Camaro & Firebird

Part# 781-F

Fitment Note: These Part# 781-F a-arms do not have mounts for factory style coil springs. They are designed to be used with front coil over kits.

In November of 2014 we released these RRx Series™ tubular front lower a-arms for the 1982-1992 GM F-Body Camaro and Firebird that set a higher standard of performance and quality. They are truely the new standard of comparison.

All of our RRx Series™ tubular a-arms are designed using aerospace level technology and design tools. First we create a 3D scan of the factory a-arm using a FARO© ScanArm™ with a 3D laser scanning attachment. Then we use that 3D model of the factory a-arm as our foundation for creating a tubular version inside of our Solidworks© 3D design software.

After we’re done designing the a-arm in Solidworks©, we then use that 3D data to design the jig that we will use to build the a-arms. The jig parts are then CNC laser cut and formed on an 8 axis CNC press brake. The final result is dimensional accuracy to within .005″!

When we designed our RRx Series™ tubular front lower control arms, we had two goals in mind. One was to provide the performance capabilities needed for the toughest race tracks, the second was to provide the strength and durability required for the demands of a daily driven vehicle.

We’re proud to say that we have accomplished both. If you’re looking for the strongest, most rigid, and best performing front lower a-arms for the third generation GM F-Body Camaro and Firebird, you just found them!

Our RRx Series™ front control arms are a true “A” arm rather than a “V” arm. This increases the arm’s rigidity and equalizes the forces delivered in to the k-member. These a-arms are gusseted at the ball joint, and feature 100% TIG welded CNC laser cut and formed 3/16″ steel bushing tube gussets for maximum strength and durability.

These a-arms come equipped with steering stops welded in place that maintain the factory steering radius as well as polyurethane bump stops that maintain the same suspension travel as the factory a-arms. They decrease overall weight, and more importantly “unsprung” weight.

Finally, we include new spherical front sway bar end links. Our front sway bar end links connect to the a-arm with a self-lubricating Teflon© lined chrome moly spherical joint that provides a bind-free connection for maximum handling performance. The top of the end link connects to the front sway bar with low deflection polyurethane bushings.

Build Specifications & Features:

• 1.50″ x .120″ wall DOM tubing.
• Ball joint cups are CNC machined from 2.75″ x .375″ wall DOM tubing.
• Precision greaseable ball joints (installed) with heavy duty Neoprene boots.
• Fluted polyurethane bushings with grease fittings for easy lubrication.
• 100% TIG welded CNC laser cut and formed 3/16″ steel bushing tube gussets.
• Includes bind-free spherical front sway bar end links with Teflon© self-lubricating race and polyurethane bushings for the upper connection.
• Heavy-duty steering stops are installed to maintain the factory steering radius.
• Includes polyurethane bump stops that maintain the factory suspension travel.
• Ship fully assembled and ready to install.
• Major decrease in unsprung weight. They are stronger, yet lighter than stock.
• Easy bolt in installation with the use of basic hand tools.
• Proudly hand crafted by skilled craftsman in PA – USA!
• Available powder coated in your choice of bright red or gloss black for a brilliant and durable finish.

Priced per Pair — Qty. 1 = 1 Pair

Steering Fitment Note: The steering stops on these a-arms are designed for use with factory style steering. They should not be used on a car that has been converted to a Pinto manual steering rack. If you have Pinto manual rack and pinion steering use our Part# 781-FMR or 782-FMR tubular front lower a-arms.

Application: 1993-2002 GM F-Body – Camaro & Firebird

Part# 745

Our tubular front lower a-arms for the 1993-2002 GM F-Body Camaro and Firebird set a new, higher standard of performance and quality. When we designed our a-arms, we had two goals in mind.

One was to provide the performance capabilities needed for the toughest race tracks, the second was to provide the strength and durability required for the demands of a daily driven vehicle. We’re proud to say that we have accomplished both.

Our front lower a-arms are a true “A” arm rather than a “V” arm. This provides maximum rigidity and equalizes forces delivered in to the k-member. Our control arms are gusseted in critical areas to ensure that a weld never breaks.

Our front lower control arms can be installed on a factory k-member, or on aftermarket k-members. They decrease overall weight, and more importantly – “unsprung” weight.

If you are looking for the highest quality front suspension components for the fourth generation GM F-Body, you just found them! They’re available powder coated in your choice of bright red or gloss black for a brilliant and durable finish.

Del-Sphere Pivot Joints:

The Spohn Performance Del-Sphere pivot joint solves the shortcomings of the factory rubber and aftermarket polyurethane bushings. Our Del-Sphere pivot joint incorporates a spherical ball which is surrounded by Delrin® bushing cups.

Think of the Del-Sphere pivot joint as a Delrin® bushed spherical rod end. After over a year of R&D testing here at Spohn Performance on a streetable spherical joint the Del-Sphere pivot joint is the final result. Designed and manufactured exclusively by Spohn Performance, we have taken street suspension performance to the next level.

Our Del-Sphere pivot joint features a one piece forged and heat treated 4130 chrome moly housing, a heat treated and chrome plated chrome moly spherical ball, Delrin® bushing cups, heat treated retainer washer and snap ring, heat treated and chrome plated chrome moly threaded adjuster ring, an external grease fitting, and a beautiful silver zinc plated housing finish.

The Delrin® bushing cups absorb shock and road noise so you get the quiet and smooth ride of a bushing as well as 28° of rotation! Our Del-Sphere pivot joints will always ship to you fully assembled, however, we also offer an optional adjusting tool that will allow you to do two things.

First, you can disassemble the Del-Sphere pivot joint for cleaning, inspection, etc. Second, you can adjust the amount of tension on the spherical ball. The amount of tension can be easily adjusted by using our optional adjustment tool to tighten or loosen the end retainer ring.

What that means is if over time and miles the tolerances open up you can simply re-adjust the retainer ring and have your pivot joint as tight as it was the day it was brand new. We doubt you’ll ever need to replace the Delrin® bushing cups, but they certainly can be. Unlike a spherical rod end, the Del-Sphere pivot joint is 100% rebuildable.

Build Specifications & Features:

• 1.25″ x .120″ wall DOM tubing.
• Ball joint cups are CNC machined from 2.75″ o.d. x .375″ wall DOM tubing.
• Precision greaseable ball joints (installed).
• 3/4″ Del-Sphere pivot joints.
• Del-Sphere pivot joints allow additional alignment adjustability. Ships jig set at factory length.
• TIG welded 4130 chrome moly threaded tube adapters for maximum thread strength.
• CNC machined through sleeve and silver zinc plated steel spacers keep the Del-Sphere pivot joints perfectly centered inside of the k-member mounting brackets.
• CNC laser cut and formed and boxed 3/16″ steel shock mounts.
• Formed .125″ steel sway bar end link mounts.
• Grade 8 shock mounting hardware included.
• Fully assembled and ready to install. Easy 100% bolt in installation with the use of basic hand tools.
• STRONGER, yet LIGHTER than stock!
• Available powder coated in your choice of bright red or gloss black for a brilliant and durable finish.
