Default 350EVO upper control arm...X mas is one day late

Here are some shots of the 350EVO upper control arm. all cnc construction. The final piece will be black anodized and have some design work etched into the arm with the 350EVO logo. The arms will come with you option on either using your stock rubber bushings or the mono ball inserts. This arm shows both.

These allow camber adjustment in the front end correct? How about a Koni/350Evo Sway Bars/350Evo Upper Control Arm deal BJ?

What kind of handling diff will all this make BJ? I am talking with the poly bushings on the sways and complete upper control arm kit.

The diff will be huge! Add the Konis and it will be a great set up for spirited driviing , everyday driving, and tracking.

BJ,

Yea I was including the Konis. Is the upper control arm the only major suspension piece that needs replacing? Is the OEM piece the part that failed on your race car or was it the rear suspension?

Those look 10x better than I had expected BJ. Absolutely beautiful!

Now what do you have in store for us for the rear suspension?

It was a real lower link. The rear is next on our list.

OK, suspension is hard for me, but it is the upgrade that I would probably enjoy the most. So how is this an improvement over stock if the bounce is eliminated elsewhere?? If you already have new springs and sways, what difference will these make?? Or, if you have everything else stock, and you add these arms, what difference do they make?? Do you need the camber adjustment when a car is not lowered or the car has a coilover kit??

BJ...those look pretty sweet!

Some questions...
1. What is the full range of adjustment in degrees?

2. what does the underside look like? In particular, I'm interested in how the slider is held in place. I know you've mentioned that you've never had any slippage problems on the race car. I had adjustable arms on a different car, and I did unfortunately have some slipping issues. I was contemplating going with a shim system, but I do like the easy adjustability and detailed control of the 'infinitely' adjustable slider. Seriously, do you just torque it enough to hold? Thanks
