What rear lower control arms are you using? SRR?
It looks kinda "white" in the picture rather than purple if it is SRR.
Just curious.
Thanks

Those are the Specialty Products LCA's. It's bare aluminum. Machined out of a solid block. I was pretty pleased with the craftmanship. I had a frozen bolt in one of my old LCA's that I had to drill out. Which basically killed the bushing.

It seemed like a good excuse to buy new ones!

They are a bit shorter than the OEM LCA's. This will allow me to run a wider tire without having to raise the shocks too.

hmmmm... interesting, I'll have to look into those. The SRRs are getting harder to find or buy, when they are in stock.

Where did you get your from?
Thanks for the info.

The SpecProd ones are pretty hard to find too. Some guy had them on groupbuycenter but never answered any of the questions people posted. I ended up called SP directly and they gave me a list of local retailers and some internet sites. All the local dealers wanted to charge retail price for them! (I tryed expaining that nobody buys anything at the retail price) So I checked out the web. I swore I would never buy anything from this site, so I'm kinda embarrassed, but they had the best deal and they had them in stock. The place rymes with "slopi"
