Default FS:SPC adjustable Front Upper Control Arms

I have a set of SPC adjustable front upper control arms for sale. I purchased them a few months ago. They were on the car for 3 days and I removed them due them making contact with the shock tower. ( I didn't want to do a cut out) I ended up just running RCA's in the front.

I am looking for $300 plus shipping. Local prefered in Atlanta, GA.

Not as much. There were two factors. One being the adjustable balljoint is slightly taller than oem. Two being the end of the control arm where the balljoint sits is square on the SPC's instead of round on OEM. The squared corner hit instead of going up into the contrlo arm indention in the shock tower. I think if the point was ground off to make the edge rounded it would give some additional clearance. It all depends on how low you are. To really make it work I was going to do that and cut and box the shock towers but decided against it.

i have these on my car, they work awesome and im slammed no bumping the tower or anything. i think the bumping has to do with coilover setup.

I was running them with RCA's which push the upper arm up an additional 1" or so. If it was not for those I think they would have been fine. Still may have needed to shave the squared corner to round. I decided to keep the RCA's and sell these since it was one or the other. My alignment wasn't as bad as I expected at my height.
