- In May of 2014 we released these RRx Seriestubular 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 Seriestubular a-arms are designed using aerospace level technology and design tools. First we create a 3D scan of the factory a-arm using a FAROScanArmwith 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 Solidworks3D 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 Seriestubular 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 Seriesfront 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 completely gusseted to provide for maximum rigidity and durability, as well as zero flex.
- The CNC machined coil spring mounting tube is completely surrounded and tied in with CNC laser cut 3/16 steel gussets that are solid MIG welded. We also 100% TIG weld on CNC laser cut and formed 3/16 steel bushing tube gussets for maximum strength and durability.
- These a-arms are equipped with a CNC machined coil spring mounting tube for installation of factory or factory style (lowering) springs. The coil spring mounting base has a spring ramp that provides for proper clocking and seating of the coil spring around it's circumference. This allows the spring to spread it's load across the entire spring seat, not at one small area as other designs on the market do. Note: We do not alter the ride height.
- Another feature of our RRx Seriestubular front lower a-arms that is missing from most of our competitor's products is a coil spring retention tube. We weld a short piece of 4 o.d. tube to the base of our coil spring mount for the coil spring to slide over. This locks the coil spring in place and keeps it perfectly centered inside of the a-arm.
- 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.
- 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 Teflonlined 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.
These Part# 782-F a-arms are equipped with coil spring mounts to mount factory style coil springs.
Delrin? Bushings Option: These a-arms are available with CNC machined Delrin? bushings. For the serious Road Race or AutoX car that demands a zero deflection bushing. They are a bit harsher on the street (NVH).

Spohn Performance commits itself to the design and manufacture of chassis and suspension parts and systems that deliver the highest level of quality, performance, attention to detail, and value.
With over 20 Years of Experience Spohn Performance's goal is to construct quality high performance components, and offer them to consumers at a fair price. Our entire operation revolves around that key word: Quality. We don't just say it, we practice it; all day, every day. When we do something, we do it right, or we don't do it! Our attention to detail is what has built our solid reputation, and will be the reason for our continued growth and success.
With a commitment to excellence in the design and construction of primo quality, Spohn chassis and suspension products opened in 1999 and has grown into a twenty-seven thousand foot facility located in Pennsylvania in the USA. The father and son owners both know the importance of dependable and long lasting chassis and suspension products and they are cognizant of the challenges inherent in the marketplace but not only that, they take pride in their product and want to give their customers the best possible product. SPOHN recognizes the importance of parts like the adjustable torque arm that attaches between the rear axle housing and the chassis and is needed to maximize rear grip and help with straight line traction, cornering and acceleration, always important but extremely important at the track and In inclement weather. SPOHN PERFORMANCE put their experienced team to work and developed products like the Cross member mounted and adjustable torque arm that can be easily installed because it is a bolt on system and provides an adjustable pinion angle and available for a potpourri of vehicles. Another indication of SPOHN’s innovation and impressive quality is their sui generis K Member designed to perform on even the toughest tracks by affording considerable savings in weight and at the same time assuring strength and rigidity to help the everyday driver with their driving demands. And for you Camaro racing aficionados who want to avoid torque steer and body roll at the starting line SPOHN developed the Pro-Drag racer anti roll sway bar that is much bigger in diameter and considerably stronger because it is manufactured with solid 4140 heat treated spring grade chrome moly steel coined as one piece and installation is a breeze with the bolt in installation. Another example of SPOHN’s innovation and thought to customer needs is the SPOHN Manual Rack & Pinion Kit that, unlike others, does not require you to have your spindle hole drilled out for the rod end to spindle adapters, and because it weighs considerably less than your car’s factory heavy power steering rack, pup and shed you will give yourself an extra edge on the track or in other performance driving venues. Check out these and the potpourri of other performance products by the unparalleled SPOHN and get the suspension part that will help you win the race at a competitive price at LMPERFORMANCE.
