YES.... I have been looking for new control arms for a while, so I will be in on this also. Anyone have a ballpark what these might go for?

i would be intrested in a pair, seeing as how i would rather put money in this then doing some bolt on preformance that will only really give me maybe 10hp extra at best.


its better to put down what lil hp u have then to spend money adding shit that wont really even add hp

^^^ um doode, this is the interest thread for the A-arms, you know that right? they wont help you put down any more hp or anything.. read up on em..

the traction bars will help you put a lil more of your power to the ground.. but not the a-arms..

and adding those I/H/E mods, youll prob get about 15whp, AT least. if you dont cheap out and go the ebay route.. you'll notice ALOT better gains and be ALOT happier with a full I/H/E setup than just adding A-arms or traction bars to a stock car, if your looking for a gain.

the traction bars.. if thats what you think this thread is about, cuz u dont read, are gonna be about 250 shipped or so, if you dont get in on the GB..

an AEM intake: $200.00 noticable 9whp and 11 ft.lbs tq. ebay chepo AEM knockoff- $40.00 lil less gain
a ssautochrome/obx header: $100.00 noticable ~5whp

so itll cost you $50 more.. or $100 or so less if you go cheapo route and get better gains, and notice it more..

not trying to talk ya away from these by no means, jus tryin to show ya, n00b, which direction it seems ya wanna go.. but buy these and THEN get bolt ons.. they will help ALOT, and both benifet ya biggthumpup.gif

chris, if ape can get rollin on these, ill stop my other projects and go for the traction bar/ a-arm combo ASAP.

I spoke to Tom and let him know there was a thread about tubular A-Arms going on.

He said this was a product he has been wanting to make for a while. He's glad there is interest in creating these.

However, he has to look into how much it's actually going to cost for something like this, cause basically it's going to be a small operation, and of course, small custom operation means it costs more to make. Once the traction bars are selling, it should give him a good basis on what to work with.

Tom says this is a go if we can get like 10 people to pre-order these. He did not give out a price because he needs to know how many are in for sure so that he can do the calculations. With only 2-3, it might cost $1500. With 10+, it might only cost $800.
So far, by the looks of this thread, only 9 people are interested. And who knows how many of you actually have the money up front. I would prepare to pay $500-800, even though production models for other cars only cost $300-400.

Anyways, he said he's ready, it's just up to us.
