Aluminum LCA's
Aluminum LCA's
Take a look at ebay item #180290425040. The current setup I am building will put a little over 700hp to the rear wheels. I like the idea of aluminum for weight savings, but I am afraid these would be weak. Anyone have these? Opinions?

Re: Aluminum LCA's
i would spend the extra money for good chromoly ones and be safe, and still save a little weight over mild steel

Yea, saw those and almost bid but decided to bid on BMR ones. I really prefer steel on those. Later.

Hello,
I am not a big fan of aluminum control arms either..
We make both a mild steel version and Chrome Moly... we also have offset bushings available. Please take a look at the links below and I will be glad to help.

I've got a set on my car, and I've seen a car that wrecked backwards into a bank at high speeds on a race track. It bent the axle but did not damage the control arm. But, aluminum is more suseptable to fatige.
