Here are a few pics of the seats for ya.

WOW! Looking good. I like the pedals 2. I have been thinking about getting some pedals for a while now cause it is kinda hard for me to heal-toe on the stock pedals. I miss the pedal placement of my E36 M3 which was just perfect no matter what shoe you were wearing.

Those pedals do look easier to heel-toe with. Looks like they are drilled on though right? It's also nice that thye have the raised bumps over the clutch and brake pedal to prevent slippage.

21112, did you get yours installed yet? Did the alignment technician have any trouble adjusting the alignment with them?

Why are there three nuts on the heim joint that connects to the spindle?

I assume these arms are strong enough for a G35 too?

.
As well we have sets in stock NOW!!!! First come first served guy's...Let me know ASAP....

Just caught the noise ??? So far nothing on either vehicle we have them on.... Not sure if I would hear them over my brakes anyway...LOL... JK***

I can't wait for mine to arrive! I went with the short versions to get more than -3 camber out of it if I ever want to

Had the SPL arms custom aligned yesterday at a local shop and everything came out almost perfect to where I wanted it. The guy there has installed and adjusted all the various Z33 camber adjustable A-arms and this was the first SPL one he has done. When I told him the price he was surprised and said this part is definitely the most bang for your buck. I also asked him what he thought of the quality and the construction and he had no problems with it. Been driving on these arms for about 2 weeks now and I have not noticed any additional noise or harshness over the Cuscos. What I have noticed however is the crisper response through the steering wheel due to the fact that there are no rubber bushings at all. These arms are great and IMO may not be the best a-arm overall but definitely the best a-arm for the price.

I was talking to Kuah this morning and he mentioned that the solid diff bushings are getting anodized right now, and should be done end of the week.

He is also working on some prototype rear lower arms that will be installed on my car soon I hope

yeah I already ordered the diff mounts earlier today since they'll be done friday, as well as a seat

Found out the rear upper arms are being abandoned though, but yeah they're going to make some lower rods instead. There's already a million companies making camber and traction rods though...kinda a waste IMO. I wanted to see some other arms with spherical ball bearings
