Wish I hadn't pitched them sometimes though.

Just to be clear as this is a first I'm seeing if correct, you're talking about the fronts and not the rears correct? What broke, where, pics?

We have a pre-order going, so if anyone wants to be some of the first ones to get these, PM ME!

You have a PM sir.

also for the rear spc control arm the bushings were completely destroyed. I bet you once I remove my front spc control arm the bushing is gone as well. I mentioned this before but they promised me a new set that never was sent out!! That's great customer service for you!

Yup the front. First half of the session felt good then I started getting severe vibrations under braking. Rotors looked fine and the car felt ok in the paddock so I pulled the wheels and saw that the front UCA bushings had completely given up. The other side were almost as bad so I chucked 'em.

Maybe I was just lucky... I believe I only had 4-5 track days on them at that point. I'd have to check my notebook.

So it didn't break, the bushings just gave out? Not like the arm cracked in half or welds failed. The back 2 on each arm or the front one?

Can Somebody Explain to a suspension noob what the hell replacing one arm for another helps? I understand the camber arms... but what's all this other business in there??

mostly its all for adjust ability.

travisjb · 09-25-2013, 10:21 AM

adjustability (of geometry) and compliance (firmness/softness/play)... changing angles impacts handling... compliance can impact how the car responds in transitions and the feel of it... compliance can also impact reliability of that part and connected parts. there is a 'car bible' on the internet that talks about suspension tuning that you can read, maybe someone can post the link

Yup. Just bushings. Both on passenger side drivers side had some play but not nearly as bad.
