Not yet, but an upper control arm set is on the list.

Hi guys, just letting you know these should be here at the end of the month, first part of DEC. All testing has gone extremely well and no issues. I will have a race and economy spec, the race being lighter/stronger with the top box gusset. Stay tuned, let me know if you want to be notified individually via PM as some of you have already.

Quick question: Would this benefit a guy who does not track his car? Or what is the main purpose of this?

(Btw: Awesome fabrication skills! looks very impressive regardless of whether I need one)

The main purpose is to add flexibility. You can add more camber, change the shock angle to effectively change the spring rate (moving it out offers more mechanical advantage vs inward), as well as the benefits of additional traction because the rubber bushing is removed. I think a lot of people do not understand how much the rear end influences the overall handling of this car and all IS generations for that matter. The rear plays a big part in steering due to the toe linkage on the front of the rear hub. Also with a multi-link setup bound in rubber bushings, there are portions for the suspension stroke that bind, or take a while to locate because the bushings need to flex to handle the misalignment. With the rod end and misalignment bushings, you get a lot more misalignment angle, so the linkage is always located. This translates into a much cleaner dynamic alignment and feedback for where your traction is.

Its a drastic improvement to the driving experience.

^thanks for the reply - I'm sure your answer has helped many understand what these do

Wow for all that improvement I may need to pick up a set if I decide to keep my car.....we definitely need more vendors like you to support this truly awesome car platform.

intro pricing will be
$485 - $575 Entry Level for ISx50 with no dimples and MIG welded. And Race/ISF version that is TIG welded and MOTO or 3-P Precision rod ends. The Race version will have the top box gusset as well. The intro pricing will be for the first 10 sets then pricing will step 50-75 depending on version.
The Toe links will be the same as what I have released now for the IS3 and GS3 with a few new parts, but priced roughly the same..

Figs,

Could you do me a favor and explain to me like a 3-yr old exactly what this accomplishes? I'm learning about cars on the fly, so terms like "camber", "shock angle", and "spring rate" is like speaking Russian to me. I understood part of what you were explaining to s4play, but not most of it. LOL.

Is it basically improved handling and control?
