Haven't progressed to alignment yet though.

If you decide to use the Chinese upper arms replace the ball joints with moog or maybe Howe if you want to go with a taller joint. 2 people on the Chevelle forums have had the ball joints catastrophically fail. Luckily no one was hurt. Another person had the welds x-rayed and they passed. The arms themselves seem to be sturdy enough but some have reported geometry problems and difficulty aligning but that could be from frame sag.
