Do you guys make sway bars as well? Beautiful fucking work, forgive my language but seriously your work is amazing and I can't wait to add these to my build list. Really odd request but could these be painted pink?

Thanks, we do offer powder coating for an additional cost.

Everything looks sweet, hoping to read some reviews in the future and possibly order some parts.

I received my upper rear control arms last week.

They are incredibly well made and worth every penny! So happy with my purchase.

Unfortunately I broke the car and I've been unable to install them but they will be going on as soon as the car is drivable. Can't wait!

Big thanks to Racer X Fabrication. Damn good work.

For those that are curious or have asked, we make the upper rear control arms with urethane bushings or spherical bearings.

Guys just working on the rear left lca on the brz and noticed there's an 4th bolt that links to the sway bar and stock control arm. Doesn't seem to exist on the racerx arm. Am I missing something? See the one on the far right next to the end link.

Uhh the USDM BRZ doesn't have that, the holes are empty. I haven't seen any LCAs with an additional hole there. Do you have a better picture of what is attached there?

Doh. Hmm maybe a hole can be drilled to attach it? I don't think it would do much to the structural integrity. Or just do without the headlight leveling.

Are you serious?

Why not just an accelerometer in the ECU?
