Yeah, I have looked at those pictures way too many times. If you can do me a deal where I pay $60.00 (AUD) and I cover half the freight I will gladly put a CSG sticker on my car.

There's just something about sexy car parts that makes me all tingly.

We can potentially work something out. Let's chat about potential shipment to Australia soon.

Installed. The turn in on these is amazing.

Do the three mount positions holes allow you to set the wheels forward??

It slightly alters geometry, but for most applications, the outboard hole will be recommended. The part of the arm that connects to the 3 holes can be adjusted in length, to adjust caster, which can also be used to push the wheels forward.

Any questions?

Yes, and the arm also allows for adjustment.

Does anyone have a rough idea of the amount of weight shed by adding these SPL FLCAs versus stock?

TylerLieberman · 08-23-2017, 11:30 AM

Might need to jump on a pair of these too

Hi guys, planning to get this soon. Any real world reviews? Hows the build quality? How long have you been using it? thanks!

I've only had one track day but with a compromised setup because the Perrin front sway bar does not allow proper caster and had to run it at full stiff since the links made contact with the control arm.

Working with SPL to get custom links made.

Felt great for the two sessions I drove the car. Mostly noticed the feedback from the solid bushings. I had all the rubber removed from the car when I went with these control arms. All from SPL.
