I'd only be interested if they came with heim joints.

I agree with you too. Bes you can add me to the list for now pending on the setup of these. I am not really concerned about looks... Function>Form however I mean no disrespect but I would like to see what these actually do beside look pretty.

I can definately run the idea across to Mike. I am sure if we get plenty of interest, they would be willing to do it for us. Once I told him I know of a couple of people who were interested, he said they would try and help us out as much as possible. Waiting on a word back from him.

On the SE-R, the lower control arms are positioned so they begin to point upward as the car is lowered. Now when the car rolls in a corner, the outside tire goes into positive camber. And, if you've been reading this series, you know that is just about the least effective way to corner.

Believe it or not, it gets worse. With the lower control arms pointing upward, the instant center starts to drop rapidly and the roll couple greatly increases. The bigger roll couple causes more weight to transfer to the outside wheels and more body roll.

In other words, our cars benefit from the ball-joint being relocated to a place on the control arm that will correct this shortcoming of a lowered McStrut car. An example:

Suspension Modified Photo

A threaded heim joint ball-joint would be okay, but it would have initial setup and all-weather durability drawbacks for most people. It might be best to make front LCAs with a relocated ball-joint hole that accepts a standard rubber-booted Sentra ball-joint. Press in new bushings and Moogs, and go.

I don't have an open mind to aftermarket LCAs that are only pretty. Don't waste the time. Have them sell ones that work, too.

These are for the rears as far as I know. The front tubular control arms are being made by Overkill Engineering Motorsports.
