Default Aluminium Rear LCAs

Hey guys and gals,

I wanna replicate some stock rear LCAs for my EG in aluminum. Do you think it will be strong enough for a daily driven EG that is driven superlatively spiritedly on the weekends and does the occasional weekend drag. I plan on beefing up the design alittle but what do you think?

The obvious starts with the type of aluminium but naturally it would be aircraft grade. Please let me know your thoughts

for an eg....? if you make sum hook me up.

not sure if they are in production already but there is alot of stress going to the back. if you brake one on a hard corner you will destroy quiet abit of suspension or your life..
ive bent the oem steel ones.......

now i have the type r ones. heavy but strong.

i would like lighter stuff like you but...i wont sacrifce strength...
breaking stuff sux

I think tubular steel would be just as light and stronger. all the aluminum ones on the market are CNC billet.

I plan to CNC billet these ones too. Your suggestions of the steel might be more of what I am lookign for because strength obviously is paramount.

Dude, blox, skunk2, function7 they all are very reasonably priced and on the market already. The prices range from under $100 to $200-300 for the most blinged out ones.
