Does anyone have rear LCA's in stock?
 
It seems after several calls that adjustable lower control arms are an endangered species. If any vendors have them in stock (Whiteline is first choice) please let me know as I would like to get my suspension started next week if possible.

I purchased a set from RacerX a couple weeks back. They had them but took a few days to ship (maybe build to order?).

Well that's your problem right there if you're looking for the Whiteline LCA's. You'd have better luck finding a unicorn in the rain forest, i.e. they don't exist yet.

I found the unicorn comment to be hilarious! simply because I can't even find an image of the Whiteline lca's....search button for dummies anyone? I think Cusco are available... http://ft86speedfactory.com/cusco-ad...e-lca-100.html

I have them and I haven't had any issues, my tech made a minor mod to the vehicle to comfortably make adjustments to them onced installed. Cusco makes great products IMO

That's a shame, cause it's really a great looking pre-production piece. Probably going to install the coilovers anyway then come back and do the LCA's and a bushing overhaul later.

Yea TiC has been waiting on a set for a while. I'm thinking I may go a different route than whiteline LCAs at this rate lol

these look nice and are cheap. Not sure of the quality of the design or bushings though.

They've been saying that for a while now. Every time someone calls, it's "should be 3-4 more weeks".

Deep Six 06-22-2013 12:15 PM

I went with Stance from the guys at Speed Factory.

Dephective 06-25-2013 07:55 PM

Stance, Cusco, SPC, all in stock. Whiteline LCA's are a friggen unicorn with a leprechaun riding it into a rainbow.

We've had our order in for them almost a year now....

Hey Jeremy, my Stance LCA'S arrived today as promised and they look as good as I am sure they will work! Everythings going on tomorrow.

We have been making LCA's for over 10 years for the Honda/Acura market and are just starting to diversify into other brands. Talk to any knowledgeable Honda/Acura enthusiast and they can tell you about us. :)

Our products are designed from the ground up with extensive FEA modeling and then the prototypes are abused on the track (and off-road rallies) to ensure that they perform as they should. Our "accelerated testing" phases typically last about 2+ years before each final production-level product is released. The bushings and design on our arms have also been tried and tested in our other products, and have held up well over 9-10 years. We were the first to provide a lifetime warranty on all our suspension arms, including the bushings and fittings etc, and we continue to do so with our Subaru/Scion/Toyota product line.

Price wise, we priced our FRS/BRZ/WRX arms in-line with our Honda/Acura products. Over on the Honda/Acura side, we're seen as "expensive" -- go figure. We don't believe that it is right to overcharge our customers for an item that is largely similar to our existing products so that is why we priced them accordingly. That said, we are currently running an intro special on our BRZ/FRS/WRX arms just to get the word out. That is reflected in the price of the arms that you see -- do expect the price to go up after the introductory pricing period is over.

Our arms feature a -4mm/+16mm camber/track adjustment, and also multiple sway bar mount points to fine-tune the sway bar stiffness. Camber/track adjustment is via an offset cam. The range of adjustment is set by the stopper bolt on each arm, and it is easy to swap out the screw to change te range of adjustment.

We do have more Subaru/Toyota/Scion products that are scheduled to be released soon so do keep a look out in the upcoming weeks/months. :)

Please feel free to PM us if you have any questions about our products. We will be happy to help!

Cheers!!
