New control arms!
Just put a new set of rear control arms. Theyre supposed to twist to keep the tires in contact with the road. It uses "Poly ball" 3 piece bushings. Didn't get to drive it too much because of traffic but it should work, What do you guys think?

I guess no one has tried them yet? They are made by J&M.

I was considering getting the same style LCA from Founders Performance. How much did you give for those beautys? Founders wants like 109 and some change for theirs.

Those aren't the same. Eagle223usa arms have the mono-ball joint on both sides. The ones you have pictured only have them on one side.

Yes you are right, these LCA's are not identical to his. I noticed that a little late but the general concept is the same in both, preventing the LCA's from binding when the body rolls.

I didn't want to go with Hiem joints because the streets here suck!
