We had a Moroso arm break beginning of last year at half track....Since then they have redesinged it several times.....I havent used their new version....but we take the arm off the shelf and reinforce it here and re-powder coat it.....we havent had any of the ones we use or sent out break yet....but im sure there is always that chance...tire shake will break anything!

Joe Demaree uses them (Comp Eng) and I can't remember if Cary Bales(?) uses them. He mentioned it was there newer ones as well.

I've been thinking about these for my all motor car.

AR Fab, do you offer these already modified to a consumer?
