Aftermarket suspension arms and bars?
- Thread starter Cz.
- Start date
after looking at these rear suspension arms a thousand times on horsepowerfreaks, i still don't understand which is which. here is the tsrm pic:
ok the lipp traction arm is the bar on the very bottom labeled "strut rod"
which is the A1 rear camber kit replacing? (no. 2 lower suspension arm? does the no 2 arm even need to be replaced?)
which is the A1 rear toe kit replacing (i think "no. 1 lower suspension arm)?
which is the A1 rear traction arm replacing(same as lipp?)
so the a1 arms, are they aluminum or steel? what is the best setup money can buy? or is that the debate?

You've got it right, and IIRC the A1 arms are steel. If our cars are lowered enough in the back, you'll need to either lengthen the lower arm like IJ did (cut/weld two arms to make em longer, don't recommend this unless you're as anal as IJ is) or replace it with an adjustable arm.
Discussion is indeed about what is the best money can buy.
does anyone have anymore up close pics of the A1 products? in particular the toe arms? it seems like those could be made pretty easily. I might want to give that a shot sometime soon, but i'd want to pick the same parts as A1 in terms of dimensions.
and i always thought hiem joints were really good, why is there all the hate towards them?

This is why ^^
Heim joints are fine on a race car that is inspected before every race and doesn't do that many miles, on a road car they're not as durable.
so would something like this be a good choice?

as brought up, there isn't any room for error. will this be strong enough?

The A1 camber arms are AL and the Toe arms are Steel. After having both I should have made my own Toe arms the A1 are very hard to adjust.

I will not be under the car again for a week or two. I would wait and see what IJ thinks of those before ordering them, I think he may say that's its to thin wall for this component.

They are a product of the people's republic of junk (china).
I have seen their brochures, and had been contacted by them

I am sad thet RHD has joined their list.
But anything for a fast buck, I guess :-(
