Haha me do that? No ways man, I'm a mechanical idiot. Nah but in all seriousness, Mike made the arms for me. I'm thinking that mine look a bit different because I requested lowering Mega arms. The arms are custom made to lower the rear 1" without using RCA's. Check with Mike for details. I too think they look pretty sleek as well. Nice job Figs!

Those are the Mega Arms with RCA's built in and they are shorter so there is a range of adjustment positive and negative.. Mike just did those a couple of months ago man.. I had the arms like your sakataj but with new wheels I wanted more of a positive adjustment and some more shock travel since I'm on air..so talked to Mike and he made me some new ones with RCA's built in.. +1 for Mike @ Figs ..
btw Brandon.. good progress.. post pics of it painted..

Sold my arms to zebt66, with his new wheels he needed more of a negative camber adjustment.. he didn't offer it initially, he made a custom set for my specs.. put your arms up for sale man.. I'm sure Mike will work something out with you..

Almost there........



They didn't have enough time to prep the bumpers, claddings, lip and spoiler so those will get painted in a few days. I'm still easily 2 weeks out before the entire car gets buffed, assembled, then all my suspension getting swapped in. At least the car is moving through the shop.....slowly

The progress is lookin' good! SWW did a great job saving your wheel. It looks like you'll have a hard decision to make when it comes to your wheel selection... Can't wait to see more pics after it's all said and done.

Haha, thanks AJ. The booth is still fairly new (maybe about 3 years old or so) and was recently retro-fitted with fans since we switched to waterborne paint 2 years ago. Our shop was actually one of the first in Hawaii to switch over.
