Hey Steve... I already put you on the list!! I knew you would want a set. I get set one and you can have set 2!!!

 

what alloy are these??

 

Might be a dumb question but with these mods could you by chance adjust the camber so we could get rid of the feathering once and for all? I'm thinking if you can I'd easily buy a set.

 

The main purpose of these is easy camber adjustment. I will have some more info for you guys when I get back to the store on Monday, But I should have my first batch in the next 5 days or so and will post the install and show the adjustments etc...

 

This list below are the objectives they wanted to reach in development of these control arms.


__________________________________


1. The arm must be easily adjustable
2. The adjustment must be permanent and repeatable (no
sliders assliders can slip and no eccentrics as
eccentrics can rotate
3. Provide enough range for both street and race
4. Use aluminum for light weight
5. Make sure it is as strong or stronger than original
6. Use a ball joint so that the travel is as long as
original ( monoball type outer joints limit usable
travel)
7. Make sure it looks cool so people will want to buy
it
8. Use existing proven race car design
9. We wanted an adjustment method that a person could
have his streetset up and easily change to his race
set up on race day then go backand know that both
setting are repeatable.

They believe they covered all of these. Soon to come, pictures of instal and review.

 

um..... sliders slip!
Thats funny .....we have over 8500 race miles on our race car and that has never ever happened. If an arm is engineered and designed correctly it wont happen.

That would be the same as me saying that shims fall out.

Come on now Performance play nice i think your diggin a little here.

 

Hey, you made the risky move to start any tit for tat here by firing the first shot in all this.

You should know better, which wasn't playing nice and was diggin a little itself.

Sad thing is your both good people, knock it off or both your bottom lines will suffer from turned off wallets. Our community doesn't need this. And I like both your companies,.........let's keep it that way.

 

I like to wear shoes.

 

Jeff or Jason, Would this get rid of the feathering?

 

Bengals win

 

Feathering is supposedly affected by the shock valving, not the UCAs, but I could be wrong. I have no feathering now that I got ride of my OEM suspension.

As for UCA adjustability, I would much rather have sliders as they more easily adjustable that having to put in shims.

 

The S-Tune suspension seems to take care of the problem so far. I'm going to ASSUME that this will hold true with the adjustable arms as well. At least we will have control on the camber.

 

We will do a step by step install as soon as my car is back from the stereo shop. I think you will be impressed by the "shims" that are used. They have a male/female mating surface to prevent any slipping and make sure you can go from track to street setting easily and ALWAYS end up with the same setting you want.

 

Did i mention the Bengals????

 

That's great and all, but it isn't easy to adjust. Having worked on many cars with sliding camber plates, I prefer that option much more. In fact, I have yet to see a good quality slider plate "slip" at the track (unless it wasn't tightened). To me, using shims is the cheap alternative, and if I'm going to pay money for a UCA, it's going to have slider adjustability. Plus, having to change out the shims when I drive home from the track is going to be extremely cumbersome.

 

I thought aluminum bends easily especially with alotta heat? just curious

 

The OEM suspension is made out of aluminum. The suspension never gets that hot anyways...

 

Feel free to restart this thread...minus the trash talkin, k?
