im in need of new ball joints and was wondering what year sho control arms would fit? and if there would be any benefit to using them over the conti control arms?
also i was wondering what year suspension sho parts in general will fit my 94?
thanks

SHO control arms aren't an improvement...unless you plan on doing a coil spring conversion.
The hot ticket you want are SHO swaybars, front and back. Preferably from a 1989-1990 model because they are the biggest.

i already did the conversion and was wondering mainly because they seem to be slightly cheaper then the ones for the continentals.
why would it be an improvement with the coil springs but not the air bags?

I don't know if the SHO arms are actually better - but they are thicker than the Conti Arms. I replaced both mine with SHO arms (and TPR Strut Rod bushings) last year.
Ditto on the sway bars.

so there wont be any real difference between the conti control arms and the sho control arms besides price? thats cool since it will save me some cash and not affect control.
so control arms for a 90 sho should fit right?
thanks guys

Yes, they will fit. Again, the difference is that the SHO arms are a little thicker, ie stronger.
