I heard Figs had a new rear control arm available, redesigned with some extra reinforcements. The new ones come with a support bracket up top and a few small gussets in key places. Mine were ok but getting a bit old so i didn't want to take any chances.. Combined with the fact i always regretted not getting blue one's, i decided to get my hustle on. I called up Figs and explained that i wanted the new ones, but completely bare bones, no powder coat, no paint, no mounting accessories. Just the arms with the new upgrades. He was willing to take mine and upgrade them for me but my car would be down and i didn't want to do that. My plan is to buy new ones (and he gave me a good price), paint them next door at the body shop, reinstall them, and THEN send my originals in for upgrades. When mine come back i will have them re-shot and then sell them. In the end, it will have cost me very little (so long as i can sell mine) and i will have the newest latest product.

I think everyone here mostly know's who this Figs guy is...anyhow, here is the site: http://shopfigs.com/v1/index.php?route=common/home


So i did it and here it goes.


They arrived on Tuesday (yesterday) and wow, they really are bare! haha. *But they look cool like this. I was VERY tempted to just clear coat them and call it done. But i really have my heart set on blue (to match my brakes).











I call up Jay and say "hey, my arms are in, can you paint tonight and have ready in the morning?" As usual, he is like "hell ya no problem"...and that is what i love about the guy. Jay, if you are looking (probably not) but if you are, THANK YOU BRO you know i appreciate it!!
































So we let that dry for the night......and about 9am when i got to the shop, i picked them up! Now THAT is SERVICE!!!! Jay is the MAN!!! And my landlord who owns the body shop is the man for having such a great place and letting us use it after hours.





they came out GORGEOUS!















For those that are wondering, no that is not an H pipe. That is actually just support. It doesn't flow through that. There is however an X pipe in front of it.

I am thinking within a few weeks i will have some rear control arms available when i get my originals upgraded...i will post a pic on my instagram channel when they are available and the first person who wants them (don't know the price but will be fair), can hit me up there. http://www.instagram.com/meade916
