We asked our techs and they aren't 100% sure. They don't recommend it unless you know for sure. If you want to try it though, it's all up to you.

When they say they allow the use of wider tires and wheels, i dont understand this. its a lower control arm. I want to be sure the LENGTH and POSITIONS of all 4 holes are the SAME as the OEM LCAs. If not, then we will have camber issues. I can't get a picture of the two to compare, yours vs. OEM. I'd want them to give the same camber, shock mount point, and require OEM bolts.

They still use the same locations for the holes and bushings. You can use wider wheels since these have a narrower profile. What normally would rub on a stock LCA, would be able to clear with these, since there is less mass where the inner dish of a wheel could come into contact with.

oh, well then thats a good thing. i didnt think "allowing wider tires" was a selling point i guess. mine are pretty wide with stock LCAs. guess i didnt think about that. thanks.

are the bushings plastic or rubber? cause i know everyone loves their urethane, but i like rubber for a smoother ride.

nothing ever rubs on a stock LCA.... are you trying to explain that the length of these arms are a bit shorter (like SPC brand)?

The length is the same as stock so as not to throw off your suspension specs. They have a slimmer profile.

Any color besides $$$drop it like its h0t$$$ yellow? And with 17x7" the upper control arm on my car is 10089fd09af8 times closer to rubbing on the inner lip than the LCA is. FYI. Make a narrower UCA and then you might be in business

The arms are made of aluminum. The sleeves look to be steel. The bushings look almost identical to OEM.
