Tubular front control arms
We are going to be making some control arms for you guys here shortly. Does anyone have a set of b13 and b14 arms that we can borrow for dimmensions. We will give a discount to the people that provide such materials.

Any ideas if the Japspec arms are different to the US spec one's? Also is it possible to place a ball joint on the rear mount point rather than a rubber/nolathane bush.. My arms have this over here (not a factory option)

Unfortunately I can't donate any control arms to the cause but I am very interested in these. Keep us updated.

Here is what a set looks like that I just built for a different car. Would be similar. I just need the control arms to build them. Yes we can relocate the ball joint.

Looks great. What are the benefits of a tubular control arm versus the factory arm?

That's some good benefits. Are you eventually gonna do this for the p10 and p11? I believe they share the same lca's.

the jap ones are different, they look the same but the ball joint is in a slighly different spot so you have more negative camber. i'm running n15 ones on my car now.

oh man, these would be sweet!

I know this is really early and a terrible question but are you guys even close to having these up for sale?

I just noticed today that my front control arm bushing is completely blown and is driving me crazy. I would love to hold off for these but can't wait a few months.

Regardless, great idea and I'm subscribed
