Default 4th Gen upper control arm brackets. The wait is over!


That's right, one of the last few things that really hasn't been addressed to much is now available! Midwest Chassis, Inc. is now offering all new design, stock location upper control arm brackets. These brackets are designed with dual hole adjustments for the arm to enhance geometry for lowered cars. Currently the shock mount is setup for coil over type shocks but a oem type configuration is coming soon. The shock mount is also setup to properly without a sharp angle change.

Really cool product. What holes are the stock location? I'm assuming once Installed, the upper hole would be the new position. How does this change the handling?

Bottom hole would be equivalent to factory. As for handling improvements this item is designed to help keep the geometry where it needs to be with a lowered vehicle, keeping geometry true can show improvements.

Current pricing is $209 shipped and comes with all the hardware shown in the picture.

As soon as we have a powder coated set installed on one of the multiple F-Bodys in house we will get good installed pictures for the web site.

The 209 shipped is the discount price for the first 10 sets, then will go up. No GP will be needed.

Finally. OEM-style replacements on the way is good news, but having one set up for coilovers without needing funky adapter brackets and such is great too.

I'm glad to see options for quality replacements being developed. But I'm really looking forward to the own style with the same adjustability
