Lightbulb Upper control arms

For early F-Body cars, what do you guys think are the best choice for aftermarket upper control arms. Looking at upgrading my stock A-Arms this winter. Racecraft. Inc. has a really nice set up for early F-Birds. They are chromoly round tube design. Give some choices please.

TRZ upper and lower. I am not certain but I think Smith copied TRZ.

TRZ all the way, I may use the Rack Kit they have as well to shed a few more pounds, but you'll be happy with them!

If your interested in the TRZ arms,contact Jeff Mill;his email is 588cubes@gmail.com.He`s a dealer for them,plus a ton more.

He gave me a smoking deal on a SmithRaceCraft front clip,and he will be the first call I make when I need something.

I just bought Smith-Racecraft Control arms and their rack and pinion kit for my Ventura (same subframe) I looked at all the others including TMZ and decided to go with Smith Racecraft. They gave me a great deal on a package of the arms and Rack kit. Also the SRC arms come with the adjustable hems standard where you pay extra for those from TMZ. The SRC Rack kit also is a cleaner looking install compared to a couple of the others available out there. I am extremely happy with the quality and the welds on the arms from SRC.
