P2M Rear Upper Control Arms
Has anyone had any experience with P2M Rear Upper Control Arms? I have looked everywhere I could think of and not been able to find anything on them. I have only seen them mentioned on the forums once and it had no information on them and couldn't find any reviews via google. If anyone has any experience with these I would love to know what you think. I am specifically curious of how adjustable they are, I have sent an email out to the company that makes them but haven't heard back yet. If this ends up hitting a dead end i will probably pull the trigger on some Racer X RUCA but if possible would like to avoid paying that much if there are other options out there. TIA!

For what purpose upper? Shouldn't lower control arms be cheaper?

I know racer x is probably my best option since they show the range of camber you get so I know what I am getting into but the 2 - 3 month turn around time for there products really leaves a bad taste in my mouth... I have recently stumbled upon Dominant Engineering as well and am looking into there turn around times, though they are quite a bit more expensive. |

If you think RacerX are expensive, try MSI.
I have been running RacerX RUCA's for almost 8,000 miles now with 8 hpde weekends or so, zero problems so far. |

I emailed them before I ordered to make sure they were in stock so there was no wait time once Racer X confirmed they had them.

I should definitely do the same then! Thanks for that info! Out of the 4 people I have talked to you are the first to say it has not taken 2-3 months so I will give them a call or email them to see if they have what I need.

P2M tested the arms on my car. In fact, all the rear arms were on my car.

If you're looking for rear uppers to get even more camber you should look elsewhere. I know and have dealt with the nice folks that manufactures these. Very good quality and track tested, but will not do what you're looking to do.

At the minimum adjustment these arms are slightly longer than factory dimensions, unless they've revised it. This is why they will not give him any more negative adjustment he desires. For people not looking to "stance" they still must be paired with their lower control arms.
