New Product from Performance - Upper Control Arms 2.6lb's!!!!
New on its way from Performance Nissan's / Performance Nissan Racing.
2.6 lb Upper control arms. Fully adjustable Camber.
the set of 2 would be roughly around $650 for the pair.
We are just wondering if there would be any interest in these.

Exactly what part allows the adjustability? Will there be eccentric bushings or is that a rectangular shim being held with the 2 bolts? Also what about caster adjustment or is this strictly camber?

it is a shim. I havent seen the shim's yet so I do not know the exact type.
Ill check tommorow when I get back with Jeff or (Jeff respond here). They may be adjustable with both caster and camber.
But dont quote me on that just yet. Ill find out tommorow or when I speak to jeff next.

Camber is adjusted by changing the thickness of the shims? I'll have to look at my car but can the adjustment be made simply by putting the front on jackstands?
It doesn't look like camber adjustment can be made but...maybe

VERY NICE!
It does not look like the shims will allow anything other than camber adjustment.
The inner bushings LOOK non-eccentric, so I doubt the arms shown will allow any caster adjustment. And wedge shaped shims would only allow minimal caster change. Please prove me wrong!
Also, without any shims, could I dial in 2 1/2 degrees negative camber at stock ride height?
Know of a good deal on a pyrometer?

Actually, The Ball Joint is off of a 1999 Maxima. Unfortunately some times people can be misinformed.

A OEM arm weighs less than 5 lbs. I dont think weight is the main issue for an upper control arm to be baised on.
Strength, durability, proper engineering, and adjustability come to mind.

Being that is adjustable is going to be a very important factor with this.

Also these arms can use the stock bushings so as not to pick up a lot of road noise for the daily driver. We will also offer the nylon/hard plastic bushings for those of you who don't really care about road noise.
