Anybody need race lower control arms?

[Ron Vogel]

I am making sets up, and want to get more orders in if I am whipping up a batch.

I'll get banned there if the mods knew I was doing this...

Anyway, I had an extra set due to someone having to wait. I posted that set up, a bunch of PM's later and now I'm making 4 sets. Well, if that's the case I am looking to do more sets since shipping kills me on smaller orders. Anybody that wants a set locally can get them for $250 picked up, or $275 shipped.

I need payments no later than Tuesday, but would prefer this weekend so I can start ordering Monday.

Put in the notes section w body LCA's and if you are picking up or having shipped. I need 2 weeks to get the arms finished between sourcing cores and recieving parts.

Any ???'s Please ask!

Thanks,
Ron

when would you need payment by ron?

 

[Ron Vogel]

I want to have them all in by Tuesday, but this weekend would be better. I have to order from 4 different places, source control arms, and line-up sandblasting. I really don't want to do each thing several times if I can avoid it. Also, these will be painted and oven baked, not powdercoated. I can't do large-scale powdercoating at home anymore because of safety issues with the kids...although the paint is very durable

Need any help?

Oh and we have a small box for sand blasting at my work if you need it.

 

[slowchevy]

ron, if i wanted these later in the year, you make them?

 

[DanJ]

Would a stock L36 benefit from these? I thought it was mainly beneficial when launching from a dig.

I have a sandblaster, but my compressor took a crap; takes 20 minutes from turn on to full pressure. It would take me 2 days of 10 hours to do just one set (I'm not exaggerating either...it's that slow!)

Would they (I'm assuming yes) work on an 04 without any issues? This may benefit me in having these arms, AND being able to get AGX struts..

The arms on the 97-03 and 04+ are the same...comp g-s have no swaybar mount though. I honsetly don't know if all 04+have the sway mounted on the strut, but the mount can easily be cut off...I've even added them before.

Car will track a lot better. It launches easier too. Mainly though I did this to keep the car straight under acceleration, but it has a better feel than stock. You will feel hard-edged bumps a little more.

i wish i had cash to pick up a set

 

[smug]

I wish I could afford a set for the gxp, i bet it would make a world of difference.

I forgot to ask, what kind of reliability is there with these? As in, are they good for a DD, or more for a weekend cruiser / racer? I dont mind bumps much, 245/45/18's and lowering springs with worn struts FTL.

 

[Ron Vogel]

Reliability is good; I had a set on my car for a few years, and when I removed them the spherical was perfect with no play. I use self-lubricating, military grade bearings on them. The ball joints and rear bushing are OEM stuff. Wear obviously goes up if you drive hard, or make more power than stock. The front bearing I put in can also be replaced if it ever goes bad.

Look at it this way (and it's why they are priced as they are), they are a few bucks more than buying stocker replacements, and an improvement from stock. You get a fresh LCA and it gives the car a better feel and road manners. You get the benefits of a TQ arm, w/o having to take it on and off for track days.

I'll be up front and tell anybody, that I make very little off these arms. It depends on bad they are when I get them, but I make anywhere from $7-10 an hour when it's all said and done. If I could charge more I would!

Any chance you would do these later on this year? If I had known you were going to do these, I would have set other projects aside for this.

Ron...That part you showed? the housing and tube spacers i can make with no problem. Would just need to copy. We'll talk when your ready.
