Default Keisler Control Arm Sphericals

I am trying to put together an order for 4 sets of lower control arm sphericals from Keisler. We are currently running a set of his sphericals and a set of someone else's janky junk sphericals.

He needs 8 sets to make a run of them and we have 4 sets spoken for.

These are really nicely done pieces for a reasonable price. You send him your lower control arms and he installs the bearings and ships them back a couple of days later.

We typically just get the sphericals in the lower control arms and put delrin in the uppers. You can do the uppers as well though.

Last time I got some was about 6 months ago and the price was $400 for the lowers.

Let me know if you would like to upgrade to sphericals (they are the best) and I will put you on the list or get you in touch with Andrew Keisler.

Thanks

I'm interested in this. Looked into it before and I thought he needed to do the uppers as well in a jig to get them aligned. Also is the "janky spherical" set from v8r ? I'm also considering a full set from them this next off season but haven't had a great deal of success with their stuff and also the seen that exocet control arm that pulled the king pin through the arm .. so am a bit wary.

We just do the lower control arms since that what binds when you try to do them in delrin. We use delrin for the uppers but you can do a full set.

Just confirmed with Andrew that a full set is 975 installed and just the lowers are 400 installed.

When I refer to janky set, it's not V8R. I have not seen anything from them that fits in a stock control arm. I do have a set of Andrew's sphericals and are super nice. They work.

I have no doubt the Keisler spherical lowers would be sweet! I have a full set from another vendor (janky ones?). Having sphericals on the lowers is ideal IMHO. Solves the bind problems and it’s the arms that see the highest loads. I also did delrin on uppers except knuckle. Highly recommend same setup to others.
