I own and plan to use these arms on a B14 and I would want to make sure that the arm is, at the very least, the same length as the stock B14 arm, and certainly not any shorter. What control arm did you use for prototyping?

Again, thanks for taking the time to answer my questions and for even being willing to take on this project in the first place.


He used Kimme's NX for the prototype. When we picked up her car we left my B14 at OEM. Mark is making a set for it within the next week to see if any differences are determined. He is also going to pull the fender and make sure the fender braces he designed for the B13 mount correctly on the B14. Someone mentioned the distance between the hinges may be different. Mark is a very thorough craftsman.

They are ready, they take about 3-4 weeks to build.

Would these arms work with stock swaybar? Or progress is the only one that will mount to it?

Also, how tight would the Whiteline bushing be, would it fit over your piece with a layer of teflon tape on? (or would it require press to fit the bushing)

Thanks.

They will work with stock sway bars as well. The white line bushings is not recommend for this set of arms as the delrin front bushing will cause binding.

Is there another front bushing option that will satisfy customers like myself (i guess there are more people with Whiteline bushing but without the adjustable caster plates) that would want these control arms.

Otherwise it means that we will be loosing caster (from the bushing elimination) if we go with these control arms.

Thanks.
