Are you trying to save weight or add adjustability? I don't really see a need for tubular or adjustable control arms unless you're building a race car.

I am guessing a curb slide or something to due with the horrible weather we are having here in the mid west. :(
Spoon makes a rear lower control arm, but i think that is about it on the market currently. Regards |

As far as I am aware, nobody is making front lower control arms. We have looked into it but to be honest there is not much to gain from an aftermarket replacement. The factory arm is forged and very compact. It would be very difficult to make a replacement that is both stronger and lighter, you would have to compromise one or the other....

They would look cooler and match all the other boxed BMR parts!

TCA028 - non-adjustable, poly bushings TCA029 - adjustable, poly bushings TCA030 - adjustable, spherical bearings Several prototypes have been built. We are still optimizing the design. We are trying to maximize strength, minimize weight, and minimize cost (and price). |
