No big problem with specifics. BUT you paint yourself in a corner. I have a product for the Evo and the bearing price has DOUBLED in the last six months if I want to maintain the exact part # and Manufacturer. If I keep the same specifications and quality but use any of 3 other manufacturers I keep my pricing stable...so stating a specific part can cause you grief..I've even had a bearing manuf HALT production....
THis is what my specification is I use "Racing quality" bearings and rod ends. They are run every weekend in major series and local stock/sprint car events. I use STANDARD bearing sizes to keep both the fabrication costs low and WHEN NOT IF you need to replace something it is easy to get and doesnt cost an arm and a leg! Every part is easily servicable, and can be adapted to many environments by using the correct metals.

We go as light as safe make evrything as adjustable as possible, and replace as nessisary..

I feel I can get my car to 2250 with "full interior" quotes because it will look like it but will be noisier and some things might not function (like the air bag system, ABS, A/C,)...

How much caster can get with these?
I really like the look of them. Have to be my favorite front arms.

Nice, any side-on pics of the car to show the position of the front wheel in the arch with a considerable amount of castor being added in the LCA?

How hard are these to adjust, given you've got camber, caster & RCA adjustment in there?

How street friendly? i.e. will those sppherical busings handle street use on somewhat bumpy roads well?

Lastly - where/how to buy?

Buy is evo4fun@gmail.com. Paypal address. Freight to the UAE?
adj. Easy on lift...lol harder on jackstand.
just nuts and bolts and spacers..give me your drop and ill preset them
9k miles on my car still going strong.. you have little rain to worry about. We even supply seals on request adds $26 to the part price.
But a Kevlar race with a nylon seal prelubed is hard to hurt.

@robispec hey mate.

I've sent you two emails and two PMs in the last week in regards to shipping my item for which I paid in March.

I noticed you have been active on the forums until even today so it could be you just haven't checked your gmail and haven't checked your PM inbox (dont see how this is likely though).

I am anxiously awaiting your response as I am very concerned about the extreme delayed responses. I did pay back in March

I am posting here because I don't know how else to reach you.
