I'm pretty sure they're different, as is the subframe..

According to NPD, the lower is the same for Camaro/Firebird, from 77 to 92. Not sure if I trust that or not??

No mention of uppers on there.

Aftermarket arms are typically marketed for '70-81 F-body', so I wouldn't be suprised if the stock ones were the same.

I have the same manufacturer SPC adjustable ones on my 77' Camaro that Autopontiac have on their 77' Trans Am race car... and they're a different part number and I assume dimensions.

I think I've got some lowers, I'd have to check.

Uppers maybe sometime next year, depending if I get any budget to upgrade mine.

Lowers in the interim would be fantastic - let me know ;)

How soon do you want them?

"They're in there somewhere"...

To be fair, you can only see the front half there (Although the back half is just as bad!)

I need to find the two pairs - the spares and the ones I plan on using myself. Don't want to find I've sold my only ones.

Oh my lolol

This weekend?? Lol only joking.

As soon as you can get in there would be fine. We are taking the front suspension apart over the winter and believe the front right control arm(s) are bent - so will want to replace whilst it's all apart.

Let me know when you decide to delve in :)
