I really wish they had a picture of theis, that i think would be helpful to most folks....

 

Sorry, I don't think I could ever buy anything from a company with product names such as "Super Trick" Steering Knuckles.... lol.
it um, doesn't sound like quality, either that or there marketing dept. is going after the ghetto-speaking ricers, which turns me off even more.

btw, aftermarket lowering trailing arms have been out for some time, but I don'th ear about them very often.... not saying they're junk though.....

It's a good idea, in principle. Basically just moving the suspension higher on the car (or the car lower on the suspension . . .).

My biggest concern would be this . . . with stock suspension travel, you'd be hitting your bumpstops A LOT, since you're 1.5" closer to them.

But with new bumpstops, ERS springs chosen to be stiffer & provide stock ride height, and some AGX's, it could be a good combination. Lower Cg, suspension travel, stiffer springs, adjustable damping, & stock camber.

Of course, for the price they're asking, you could buy a set of N1's or Teins. And the coil-overs they're advertising are a complete rip-off. Almost $1200 for some threaded AGX's & springs.

 

Heh. They make it sound like such a bargain.

 

Screw the coilovers, but i have been seriously considering the rear arms... I just havn't been able to find anyone who has actually used them. F it, i'm prolly just gonna get them. Seems liek they would work fine.

 

I bet it is really fun trying to press a bearing inside that thickly-painted knuckle- I wonder how the rear compensator bolts up- looks like an unfinished trailing arm in the pic.

 

riiight? that sounds like a PITA!!!!!!

 

If you read near the bottom, the advertisement even states that they are an appearance oriented parts manufacturer. This basicly means performance isn't a high priority with their products, which basicly means they would never get my business.

 

They said the import performance market is a fledgling market and largely appearance oriented, BUT that as the market matures people will demand quality and performance over appearance.

Doh!

BTW drop spindles have been around for a long time on other cars, and they are really the RIGHT way to drop a car if you're dropping far.
