Don't get me wrong, your components look nice but I'm a diy guy with some good resources at my disposal. If I wasn't, I would buy your lower control arms or Cuscos without question.

I so far have purchased 2 (new) oem lower control arms, 2 teflon lined spherical rod ends, lock nuts and misalignment spacers. The rest is all labor.

Total cost involved... $134.


I'll link my thread in here once I get going.

I know you're a vendor and all and you're trying to sell your shit, but damn, that was uncalled for, especially since there is someone in this very thread who just wanted to make their own. Jeez. No respect for the DIY'ers out there, even if what they make turns out to be better than what's sold in a shop.

Where can/did you find spec for camber?

No disrespect for the DIY guys, but just pointing out the differences between DIY and something that was custom made to work correctly.
