I have some arms i need to take in to get:

Compression arm:
SPL compression rod bushing in the compression rod chassis side, machined spacer

Tension arm/translink:
SPL translink "INNER" bushing on the tension arm point at the k member.
Whiteline bushing at the outter, coilover to tension arm point.

Can I get price for these bushings pressed into my arms no powdercoat?
Can I get contact info to see if I can stop by to get this done? Thanks

Ordered a set of Energy front lower and radius arm bushings powder coated black a few weeks ago and finally got them installed! Looks great! A shame because it's hard to see! Thank you L-Fab!

Hi L-Fab,

I PM'd you a coupld days ago. Not sure if you got it since I haven't heard back from you. Even if you are not interested in my inquiry, please let me know if we can work something out.

Thanks!

NO, not true..

Google caster measurement and read, you will see that its an imaginary line about the wheel center at both mount points or ball joint points. them machining the spl ends just allows the articulation needed but doesn't move the ball joint point....caster specs are also a measurement with the car at rest on an alignment rack, so a single static measurement of a dynamic system....so no.

they also haven't answered you because they don't know, they are just machinist....not engineers...L-fab, you can send payment to me for helping you out via the form of cash money..k thx bye...

Its either positive or negative. The 350z is positive between 7.42 and 8.92 degrees. a shopping cart wheel is negative caster...get it...

here is another pic:

Just sent in my payment for some Machined SPL Compression Bushing Spacers for my existing SPL compression arms. Love the feel of my SPL compression bushings and my other SPL and suspension mods, but I can't stand the knocking noise. Luckily there's a company that is able to obtain and machine the SPL spacers without requiring me to send my existing spacers for machining.

Very interested in a set of front lower control arms. Have any available? The core charge, is that for both arms? The prices listed, are those per side or for a set?

we're actually no longer offering the core exchanges since too many people failed to return their cores. If you want though you can send us your arms and we can do them for you. Sorry for the inconvenience.

are the hard rubber washers a must for the bottom? would it be bad to leave the cone spacer bottom to bang against the underbrace with a rubber washer piece ? Has anyone used the hard nissan rubber washers on the bottom? i noticed L-Fab mentioned top and bottom, i only have top just finished install.

Hi Legion.

I have sent you my paypal payments earlier and you have informed me that you are unable to supply the product due to changes in supplier's order requirements. Could you please get back to me for the refund you told me about? It has been a couple of weeks now.

Thanks!

Has anybody been able to get a hold of L-Fab? Is he alright? I hope everything's okay. I haven't heard back from him.

I am sure Legion is just busy. He just got back to me today, so I am a little relieved.

It's frustrating when his suppliers change the minimum quantity order requirements for some of his products and then unable to offer the products to me. I need those products, but if the supplier changes the minimum quantity, there's nothing they can do.

So you said you've stopped core exchanges. That means that a set of LCAs/Radius Arms with Whiteline bushings is $375 + $175, with no chance of getting a refund?
