Default !Control Arms!

I am looking for Black Control Arms. I really like the Blox Control Arms but they dont have them in Black. Now that i think of it I have never seen black Rear Control Arms.

Has anyone seen them before? And if so, a company or website you can hook me up with?

Thanks

You can always have the Function7's powdercoated black. The bushings are removable so that is no issue.

F7's run a tad over $200. But you get what you pay for these days.

You can order them from the link in my sig.

As for the blox, I don't think they have easily removable bushings, you probably need to press them out, like most other LCAs including the factory ones.

Any shop that does powder coating would be able to powder coat the Function7 LCA, just be sure to remove the serial number tags and keep them attached to your receipt for warranty purposes.

We do offer our arms in a black Teflon/silicone rubber coating. We have offered it specifically for rally cars (makes them easier to wash), and the rubberized teflon coating is used so that it's resistant to flying rocks and chipping.

It'll be a custom order (no extra charge) and may take a few days extra.

Please let DavidR know when you order.

So they will just have a rubber piece protecting it right? Do you still see the zigg zagg lines?

Any pictures?

Thanks for letting me know

It's a flat black coating on the arm -- it's a spray-on finish option that we offer. It sorta resembles non-stick pans. The arms are exactly the same but just black.
