tubular lower controll arms

Post by hybrid-Srt2001 » Sun Jun 24, 2007 7:42 am

these are pretty cool. fully adjustable caster and camber. too bad they're only for the 1st gen.

You really don't need those unless you're heavy duty racer. Great handling improvement for sure, but they also have the potential for increased maint and care. They are adjustable to the 9's though. Could easily make a setup for the 2gn. I don't know if I really like that particular design though, would go a different route if it were me.

I modded a set of stock LCA's for the rears to accept a spherical bearing. One of the best things I've done to the car.

Mine aren't adjustable, but I'd sell a complete pair with new ball joints for less than that for sure.

If you guys are serious, PM and we'll work something out. I've had an extra set lying around for a while and wouldn't mind turning it into cash.

Everybody wants them, but nobody wants to pay. Anything more than $50 an everyone thinks your ripping them off. Hell, that barely covers the cost of the bearings :tardbang:

people think 50 bux is a ripp off? i would think you could sell the controll arms with solid bushings for at least 200 apiece. if i had the money, i would buy them.

Neon owners... cheap ass bastards since 1994!


But if you market them toward SRT-4 owners you can charge an arm and a leg. :thumbup:

I was going to say, there was someone making them and I thought a company was going to pick them up for production but I don't think it made it any farther than just discussion. They'd be nice but eh, just pickup some Traction bushings and it'll be just as good without the adjustablity.
