One suggestion, maybe use at least a Grade 8 bolt rather than a grade 4? Otherwise looks spectacularly good. Now if they just sold those arms with monoballs! Edit: And

Otherwise looks spectacularly good. Now if they just sold those arms with monoballs! Edit: And the reason I say that is, if the original nut slips, the full weight of the front end of the car (for that corner) will be sitting on that long, skinny bolt. I'd want as tough a bolt as I could find for that job! |

I could use a grade 8 bolt but couldn't fine one plus the key word is slip,if it does slip the full weight isn't going to be on the bolt b/c the SPC nut will still be tight it is not going to come completely loose.

SPC owners need to chime in, but the photos I've seen, it ALWAYS ran down to the maximum negative value when they slip, and are stopped only by the bolt hitting the inside of its travel. I think in a situation where hundreds of pounds are on one fastener, it's probably short sighted to think that once it's slipping, it's doing any real work any more. Just my opinion though. Arms look great! |
