A local guy is selling them for $100.
Here's what he said about them:
uppers and lowers with poly bushings(dont remember what brand) uppers used for 3 months lowers for 2 weeks then went to southsides. 100.00
Are they a good deal for $100?

They look exactally like my friends BBK's. Lots of control arms look the same though.

There's nothing obviously wrong with them...The guy doesn't know what brand they are? Kinda weird...

I wouldn't get them just because they're rusted and I like to buy stuff new. There's a reason that he went with the Southsides...

But I figure theyre gonna rust anyway if I buy new. Its just surface rust.
His car had a built 306 and now he's got a 4 link and is putting in a bigger motor.

He just forgot. It doesnt seem like theres any brand on them.

So does this set seem good enough for my mildy modified '92?

Cover the bushings and media blast them and get them powdercoated, thats what'd I'd do but not everyone has access to that kinda a stuff! LOL They are definitely decent ones, the bushings are poly, and there is no obvious defects, all depends on how much they want for them?
