Lower control arms
I couldn't believe that a pair of lower A arms where $350 so I built my own. Please let me know what you all think.
They are built with 1.250" .083 wall 4130N. AFCO lightweight friction less bushings and Steeda x2's.
I made a Jig plate with holding fixtures for fox arms as well as sn95 length arms. I also have alignment holes for 3/4" forward offset. The factory arms are set up with the ball joint 10 degrees off plane, which is what I built into my set but I'm considering adding some more. My car at ride height and 2.5 negative camber doesn't have the ball joint absolutely true in the socket.
I don't have a scale, but they are considerably lighter. I'm not going for the absolute lightest arms possible though because I like racing that has turns involved.
