Anyone have the Delalum front lca bearings from Global West?

How good are they?

Are they worth $300+?

How long did they take to arrive?

thanks

Isn't $300 the price of the arms and bushings ?? I have the delalum bushings in the upper arms and they are VERY good. Makes the car more enjoyable on the street and the track.

from their site...

Front lower control arm spherical bearing kit (fits 1993-2002): New

One of the biggest complaints we hear from Camaro and Firebird owners is the deflection in the front lower control arm bushings. The control arm bushings deflect allowing the lower control arm to pivot in or out depending on the load. This in turn changes the alignment while the load is applied. Handling and performance are reduced.

Benefits and Features:

Bearing kit replaces the factory bushings.
Spherical aircraft bearings allow smooth movement without bind.
Bearings are Teflon lined so no grease fittings are needed.
Kit controls alignment providing improved response and vehicle control.
Maintains correct control arm length.
Part# SP-7 Price $331.25

We used those and a set of the GW upper a-arms on one of my co-workers '93 Z28. All I can say is OH MY GOD. That car turns in HARD now.
I will warn you, there is a lot more road noise transmitted through the car.
