Would you be so kind as to snap a picture of yours, please? I was hoping to modify some stock arms to make them adjustable.

That is what they look like, however, I would not buy those exact ones in the listing. Look at the ball joints, the boots are torn and likely the joints need to be replaced. The downside to the cusco arms is that you can't just replace the joint easy because it isn't stock type, its a special ball joint only available from Cusco and they cost about $110 each ball joint!
Find some new ones and forget the hassle...

There are new ones available too. Expect to pay around $300ish for them.

Coin isnt too much. I just ordered some Tanabe Coilovers from Japan and it wasn't too bad.

Your doing coilovers Braced? Are you getting rid of your rear bags? Did you know Firestone has discontinued FIR-4133, the Coil-Rite kit made for our vehicles? I have been looking everywhere for them and they are no where to be found. Well if your doing coilovers maybe I should look into that as well. Hmm....

I actually think that I can make the bags work with the rear coils. I bought a trailer now and if the weight is too much for the rear spring rate then the bags will help.

I didnt know that Firestone discontinued the bags. Interesting to know. Seems to go along with all the other parts for our van that is getting discontinued.

The only reason I wanted Coilovers was because I wanted to raise the van a bit in the winter months and drop it in the summer.

I have custom brackets and bags for sale for the rear...just an FYI.

I make them as complete bolt on kits. And the best part, I use Firestone bags!
