Default Feeler: custom control arms

I'm not selling anything yet, just gauging who would be interested in a set of custom made upper control arms. A friend of mine has a fab shop and is currently making custom suspension pieces for FD's geared towards drifting and autocross. Later this month we're gonna test mule my car to figure out cost vs benefit of these pieces. If there's a general interest in something other than whats out there for ridiculous prices, then we'll market these. For right now I'm just seeing who would be interested. As soon as I have pics I'll be sure to post some up, ideas and feedback are welcome.

I guess it would depend on the cost and level of adjustment of your buddies UCAs versus the ones that are already on the market. The most expensive being the Stillen~$1000, the most coveted being the SPLs~$700, and the cheapest being Ichiba, Megan, or Kinetix~$300.

The SPLs are great because of their solid hybrid joints, multi locking camber adjustment with pre-measured spacers and independent caster adjustment.

I'm not sure of what the merits of the Stillen ones are.

The other have rubber or urethane bushings that, some have posted, slipped off causing noises. But because of the price point a lot of people have these and the few I've talked to in person really enjoy them.
