it looks pretty much done... do you have an eta of it?

 

Well, much testing needs to happen and I also need to ramp up production. Currently I have the hard machined parts for 25 sets. So we will see how it all goes.

 

is there going to be a downwards bend on the tip of the UCA? where it connects to the spindle? this way the UCA balljoint isnt at an angle all the time under normal load?

Just curious/giving ideas.

 

The problem with the 2GS UCA is that it might hit the shock tower if the car is low enough. That might cause some damage to the actual control arm.

I like how your design is camber as well as caster adjustable.

 

Ahh I can't wait to purchase these! Question though.. And this may be a really nooby question but oh well..

Will we actual see a lot better handling with these or are these mainly just for adjustment purpose? Or does handling come with LCA and not UCA?

 

yes perhaps you cannot see but there is a 5 degree bend.

 

Well, you kind of answered your own question. Camber and caster angles change the suspension behavior, so yes, handling can improve. Its all in adjustment though, so take it to a good shop that knows what they are doing. As far as the ball joint vs the spherical bearing. The teflon uniball will perform better than a ball joint from the standpoint of misalignment and overall friction. The stock inner rubber bushings will be replaced by rod ends, so that gives up a little compliance as well.

 

product looks great. how much camber do these control arm fix?

 

I see it now lol. good stuff.

 

These look good, to bad I just replaced mine a few months ago.

 

Chris, idk if this would have a high chance of hitting since Mike designed the ball joint area at a 5 degree bend. So if I am picturing it right, 3/4 of the arm would be at it's normal angle when lowered, while the other 1/4 (ball joint area) will be at a angle almost at a horizontal setting ?

 

ALso keep in mind guys, the whole plane of the UCA is different then stock. Stock aligns at the very top of the BJ whereas mine is on teh underside of the bearing. So even more clearance.

 

Hey Mike, can you post a pic of how the machined bent parts look? One of my concerns is the arch of the curve on the inside if it clears for those of us running air bags. The bellow bags I'm using on the front of my car are pretty wide compared to a typical coilover spring. When the arm goes up all the way is there a lot of clearance to the bag/spring?

 

in for price ballpark amount

 

Good question. I can show you what it looks like with the arm on the F and a 1.5" drop.
with the UCA angled down. On the F this is not going to work because the spindle shape is different and the stock UCA is actually gullwinged
