New Racer X Fabrication rear lower control arms! - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

If you have been following us on our FB or instagram account then you know we have been working on building new rear lower control arms. Well we are pleased to release our new rear lower control arms here are a few pics, and I will get a few install pics in the next week or two.

One of the great features of our control arms have been access to adjustment. Rod ends and jack screws are the same we have been using for our rear lower control arms.

The main reason for the design change was the amount of time it took to weld the previous control arms. It was tying up one of our welders for too much time. It's easier for us to justify, running them on our cnc machines.

The new design did reduce weight, and still maintains strength.

I'm guessing so the control arm itself would be a solid 1 piece design instead of multiple pieces welded together. Not sure if they will be lighter due to it being aluminum instead of steel because they do look beefier than the previous one. Looks like a solid piece though, that's for sure. @racerx1715 your parts are definitely on my WTB list.

Edit** You beat me to it with your explination, lol. I type too slow, haha.
