Manny Z Rear Control Arms

Going on this weekend as long as I get some required bolts by then that were left out of the box by accident.

Being installed along with it, a SRT control arm to replace the Neon control arm thats in there right now on the passenger side that I had to put in b/c the ball joint in the original control arm was shattered from the donor car. Mopar Performance Tension struts, Energy Suspension bushings... and now these. Not to mention some brand spankin new tires finally

Hopefully in the coming weeks Rage-Tek will have their Traction bushings out again in which case those will go in as well.

pretty. What's the benefit of those over stock?

Looks niceee. What do they do? Lol.

Over stock... well, this eliminates the stock rubber bushings in your rear control arms. They're also easily adjustable to adjust rear toe (which can be done with the stock arms) and camber adjustments without the need for camber plates or to use in addition to camber plates. Might also give a little more range of motion on the heim joints instead of the stock rubber bushings. They take the place of the rear somewhat flimsy pressed metal stock control arms.

These bars are alot stronger than stock, i've been considering making a set

you have two sets? this means one for the white car and one for the black car?

Two bars per rear corner

I guess the 1st gen used similar type bars, but I dont think they were adjustable... They look nice thou, I think you need to come up with a good way to set up your alignment because every time you touch these something will go out of speck.

I adjusted on thing on my car and that changed all the other parameters...

Should make it feel a lot stiffer in the rear...

WHoa There Jason! I don't want to see that stuff? Bwahahahaha

Ive been thinking about getting a set of these, but every time I get out the wallet I realize I need to pay off more Credit Debt and not spend money on the car.

WowWee!!! Those look good.

Hey Diablo,

Do you know if these allow for more toe-range than stock lateral arms ?

thanks, looking good....

Post by **Diablo0** » Fri Feb 15, 2008 3:11 pm

I would venture a guess to say yes... they should offer A LOT more compared to the stock arms.

Hudson_Neon · Post by **Hudson_Neon** » Fri Feb 15, 2008 11:06 pm

link to where you got these? those are pretty sweet

latief · Post by **latief** » Sat Feb 16, 2008 5:13 pm

forgot to ask, where do you buy these or the mopar performance ones?

thanks,

More toys for Jason!

Those are going to look sweet under the ass end of those cars... providing you can even SEE them on that slammed white one.

You have to contact "manny z" on SRTforums as he isn't a vendor but has been making them for a few years now.

Little bit of a hickup on the install this weekend. Manny forgot to include a bolt I needed and it was supposed to arrive Saturday but it didn't

Not to mention one of my BC coilovers that has been making noise is shot. Not blown but something is broke in it causing it to bottom out after being compressed only 1.75" Compared to the other side, it can compress over 3" and still not bottom out. Damn BC coils, I knew I should have held out and bought KWs like I wanted originally... grr

Nice J. They make an STI pink version of those for the STI...

The adjustability will be great with coilovers.

Post by **Diablo0** » Wed Feb 20, 2008 3:34 pm

Pink.

lol

Yah, I hope they'll be a nice addition but the idea now is to get the coil put back on. One of the BC coils broke and am trying to get BC to warranty it... when they contact me back that is.

MP/KW FTW!

Sorry, had to do it.

Post by **Diablo0** » Wed Feb 20, 2008 4:07 pm

Believe me... when this one gets fixed I'm really tempted to sell them and buy KWs like are the black R/T.

Looks good Jason, you'll notice a big difference, I know I did when I had mine installed on my srt
