Weights are about 3lbs lighter per corner than OEM.

Additional camber adjustment is done with OEM alignment eccentrics at the front lower ball joint. In the rear, the outer pivot on the upper control arm also accepts an OEM eccentric bolt. Not pictured here are the proprietary 95A (very hard) urethane bushings and OTS upper ball joint which will be included in the kits. Made in the USA for exclusively 949Racing by V8 Roadsters. Yes, they are orange powder coat. Pricing not set yet but expect them to be very reasonable. They will also be available individually for you STS2 guys.

These are are intended to bridge the gap between exotic spherical bearing arms for an E production car that are already available elsewhere and the flexy and heavy OEM arms while offering the increased alignment range.

We should be shipping the first kits beginning of May. Taking order in the next few weeks. Email us to be put on the mailing list. Come check them out at MRLS. __________________

Cool pieces, but I just can't see this having much value for a street car. Maybe the price will surprise me, but somehow I doubt it.

Coming from a place called 949 Racing you probably would not expect to see much for street cars.

I would rock them on my car. I think you could be surprised, one rear lower arm for an NB is roughly $200 and I think they can do that on the price.

Yeah, those look like they will be SERIOUSLY nice pieces. Strong enough to be streetable, light enough to be track worthy, with good adjustablility. I had delrin bushings machined a month or so ago for the rear uppers to give some adjustability, but these would be SO much easier to adjust.

Ben how about a link to the website? I am buying new control arms soon :banana: and these look like winners, especially compared to expensive stock ones.

:EDIT: I just googled it. Will be buying another stock one. 700 for one corner. FML

Quality looking item but with its price tag it's most definitely for racing applications!

yea the price had me sticker shocked but really when I looked at it better, it is for all four corners. So really it is comes out little over 400 a corner for upper and lowers.

When you buy the kit. I really only need one corner but was gunna do the rears if I got them. Sticker shock set in. If I had the money for the kit I'd be all over it but nope not happenin.

yea I wouldn't replace just one corner with something that big. Maybe just maybe I would replace a whole rear or whole front. Either way, way more then I can afford.
