Nice. Don't forget front tie rods also!

It would complete everything to have full velox designs front and back.

Seriously, if these see the light of day too, count me in.

Agreed!

I just picked up the control arms. They are pure sex!

I will post more pics soon once I figure out how to link photos...

However one of the bearing seems to be stuck while the other one spins quite freely. This maybe a stupid question, as I do not have access to my tools right now. Not sure if the bearing should be jammed like that, or if there may possibly be damage during transportation.

Thanks.

Tie rods would be difficult to compete with. Whiteline has that pretty well sorted from a price stand point, I see us being easily 2xs that price. But we could do it and they'd be lighter

Thanks for the compliments. I use photobucket, picasa, or flickr. I do not think you can link to dropbox on the forum.

This is referred to as stiction and is normal. It is from the PTFE liner in the rod end which increases longevity of the spherical bearing. This will reduce with time.

Thanks,
Eric

They arrived Eric. (Thane) Just gotta figure out when I can get the rest done as my Jack didn't turn up... When Postage from America is quicker than postage within your own country. Not sure if you had a final weight either but without hardware my scale reads the Stockies at 1.64kg and these at 1.24 kg. So about a 25% weight reduction.

Yeah except that you need to cut brackets off to make them fit.

In whiteline's defense, ours would probably rub as well. We do have rear toe control link kits if you'd like to try it out

Thanks,

We are nearly out of LCAs from our production run, so grab them quick before FT86 SpeedFactory is out!

We'd like to hear from both the people with the LCAs and without. What are your thoughts on the product and should we do another run? The design will not be changed as we have already done all the R&D we care to for this design.

Constructive thoughts and comments always appreciated.

Thanks,
Eric

I recently ordered LCAs with PB .. my only suggestion would be - adding separate purchase option of end with STX legal bushing only, so that if i'd ever decide on STX compatibility, i could order only differing parts in simple fashion.
