Yes I took some pics, but I need to upload to my computer. I also made my own # 1 control arm, the one with the ball joint on the spindle end.
hmm i may just end up going with randy then or those a1 they look sweet
and yes im on a tight budget most bang for my buck!

You will still have to replace your bushings on the stock arms going with Randy's version.
And on that subject have you noticed any difference with your modded ones? I was planning on doing the same to mine.
if i have to change the bushings then ill just got with the a1 since it will have new bushings in it right?
The LIPP (SupraSport) Traction arms will now be offered in aluminum as well as stainless steel and carry a 1000HP warrenty. We should be getting them in from the foundry the last week of March. I do not knkow the exact pricing on them yet though
if they are same as the a1 then ill wait for those.. but they probally will be way more expensive
oh really...hmmmm any thoughts on price yet? are they going to cost less that the a1?
are they stronger than the a1?
are they stronger than the a1?
Just curious what alloy/temper the aluminum arms are?
I am assuming 6061-T6? It would be the only one fitting, most others are very weak...
and or the steel ones? Carbon or stainless? what grade?

I think any 6061 is not suitable for this application. Steel or chromoly IMO. I may just go look up some info on this as well.

Loead tested is a plus
i know metals but i can't spell so oh well
steel or moly aluim in boxed core is weak pending on thickness of mealt and the size of th traing arm as i big ness
the ss ones are good big and stiff liek cast really is
all in all aulim can bet great but is got to be big gauge if useing tube and size as well to match steel or molly
