Default WTB: 1st gen 93-97 controls arms.. all of them. read on..

Since there is no urethane bushing kit on the market for the 1st gen, I am going to have one made. I need all the front nad rear upper and lower control arms. Anything with a pressable bushing in it.

I have already removed my rear upper control arm, and lower control arms and pressed the bushings out so I could mic the hole, but since this is my daily driver I had to reassemble it again with the very tired old bushings.

So, send me you old.. your tired.. your blown ball joint control arms and I can get to work on making yet another piece available to the 1st gen community. Many of these great cars are getting very up in miles and the bushings are one of the things that make a car FEEL old. Help me make it new today.

MODS.. I am making no profit from this.. simply need to have a kit for my drift racecar and thought others would like the opportunity to upgrade.

SUSPENSION COMPANIES.. Daizen.. TunedParts.net.. Energy Suspension...
if you are interested in helping out and developing a product line for the 1st Gen, contact me. I'm your guinea pig, I have the measurements needed for the rear arms and I will guarantee a thorough test of the product.

I'm going to, but I'm going to do it with measurements in hand to simplify the process. It will take long enough for them to tool up to make a kit, let alone try and gather the parts to spec out.

I'm willing to donate the time and legwork to get this done, i just need the hard parts (arms)

Did a cat named Stylez from NY contact you bro? I sent him the link from our last discussion on this. He said that he'd look for the upper arm, but I haven't spoken to him in a week or 2.

I don't understand why everyone thinks there is no poly bushing kits for our cars!! Last summer, I replaced EVERY single bushing on my 1995 GS with a Super Pro Poly bushing kit from Australia. I may be able to get another set. PM me.
