FYI the arms in the photos are the old ones I cut apart to retain the bushing and balljoint ends. The new ones are made from 4130 chromoly tube and plate.

if I ever bend my STi arms I may have to do this same thing... Did you make the new ones adjustable? I would prolly make them adjustable....

I think anything that is adjustable would have a weak point...

you'll have to ask him but I think he has changed a few things ... If he doesn't post anything soon... I'm gonna have to add a build up section in my site i'm building for the race photos...

Don't let List put words in my mouth. :lol: I wanted to make them adjustable, camber and caster but the spherical bearings, cup, spacers and the upright adapters I would've had to get machined all came out to almost $700.00 and a new set of alum. arms off the good ol internet would have been around $350.00, were as what I did was free!!!

I would'nt actually make another set like these. I would do them similiar but with spherical bearings and some adjustment. The cool thing is, is I made these cause I got sedan struts. So these are actually 20mm wider per side (sedan 10mm wider than wagon) So I went an extra 10mm per side. I don't have camber plates, but now that its wider at the bottom I have neg. camber 8) I also moved the axle centerline up 20mm for more caster. I will be making a revised set in the next couple of months so I will have a better idea on pricing then.

Eli will these be legal on your car?

Stronger is the plan....weight I'm not sure I was up for 36 hours straight when I made them and just tossed the stockers out in the trash. They're not really heavy though....if I remember the stock ones were quite heavy. But weight will increase with the spherical bearings as there will be absolutly no more rubber/urethane bushings.

I have faith... but the real test will be when I'm snapping the photos of him putting it into a turn @ JV this weekend..maybe he'll hit 2nd... (j/k 06dirtywagon)
