Rear Control Arms

Post by neon2ner » Thu Mar 13, 2008 9:27 am

hey guys,

just saw the manny Z adjustable rear control arms for the first time...

where do you guys get these?

also, any mopar rear adjustable control arm owner, chime in and tell me how you like your's. i am now debating between these two.

scott.

p.s, is there any aftermarket adjustable front control arms/aftermarket camber plates that would work with aftermarket struts (a.k.a. my tokico illuminas?)

Manny Z can be contacted on SRT forums to order them. Get your wallet ready though :)

You have to PM Manny Z on SRTforums, he's not a vendor but sells via word of mouth.

Mopar rear arms, while okay, are only sold in sets of two and each set is pretty expensive. For less than the price of the two sets manny z includes all 4 bars and he also uses heim joints instead of the typical prothane bushings found on the mopar bars.

Check into the Ground Control camber plates, I can't remember though if you can use them with normal struts or just coilovers though...

:withstupid: Hmmm sexy! :shock: Yet another suspension piece to add to my "to do list". What about the Mopar setup? Are the trailing arms Mancini Racing sells the same thing you guys are talking about here?

Have a link? Mopar does sell something similar to this but it costs more.

well if there's not really any huge difference in the quality/features (considering they're both adjustable rear lower control arms, and they both do the same thing) i'll probably get the mopars. i'm not too worried about the price though, because i get really good deals at the dealer.
