Interest In Custom Rear Control Arms

[Valet]

So will these definitely be of high quality? Durable? And that's $150 a corner right?

I want to be a part of this buy but I'm just a little skeptical.

This will be about as high of quality as it gets without fabricating your own arms. They will be durable, and should fit the same way an OEM arm would, with the added adjustability. It would be around $150 per pair of arms. So one pair of arms would be for toe, and one pair of arms would be for camber.

So $300 total for the rear ideally?

I'm definitely interested! Would rather spend a little more money on these and know they're good quality.

Yup. That would basically give you all the adjustment you needed, and they'd be the best parts sold as a kit that you could buy.

Thanks for the info Kevin, I'll think things over.

Oh...hmmm. I was confused about that. RedRyder, caster specifically refers to steering axis angle:

No steering, no caster. I thought you were maybe referring to bump steer/bump toe, which refers to toe change during suspension movement.

Interesting bit about the development of the Honda 5-link,

and toe change during bump, which is why I thought you were talking about caster

Yeah you're right. I read that and this: http://www.ozebiz.com.au/racetech/theory/align.html

The discussions we had (mostly on V6P) about this, we should have been referring to it by its true name lol.

Yeah, too much work for something like that. I can just imagine how horrible it would be to try and align that and see a jungle gym underneath each wheel well.

Makes me cringe thinking about it.

Here's more info about the general construction of the arms.

Construction consists of a heat tempered/forged steel bodies with racing quality Teflon ball joints protected by dust boots and lock washers at to ensure settings remain consistent.

So the connecting rods will be chrome, and the rod ends will be coated in a rubber boot to protect the components.

I will ask about minimum order quantities today. We could possibly set up a group buy, as that's how he tends to do business often. One condition of the group buy is that a deposit would be required. I'll keep everyone posted!

 

[RedRyder]

Good idea w/the deposit. Too many flakers in the past...
