Looking for a set of thes control arms gents.
Dont need any bushes, or even the ball joint for that matter, just the bare arms
Got some interesting plans for them which could end up filtering down the line to an off the shelf part.

Actually, on second thought, I'll take a standard (non vR) pair too if anyones got some. Being more common & all

Give Chris at Engine Specialist Warehouse a call. That white half cut is a GPvR.

Strange, pretty sure they were both there before he took my shafts out... He's probably misplaced it... Bugga!!

RPW might have them, as they were wrecking an FTO when we got the camshaft carriers(cam box) off them, 2 weeks ago.

Hrm you might be right there i remember some guys on the mivec.co.nz forum fitting them (evo 5/6 lcas) to their mirage's but they also had the front subframe fitted which they attach to.

Gonna try and cut & shut the pviot points, aka give more negative camber.
Im tired of only being able to get a degree from adjustable tops before the spring starts binding on the strut tower.

Don't u have coilovers ben?
Remember those camber bolts, I've been running them on the racecar at every round at max setting and they've never moved once. That's worth a couple of degrees. I torque them to the Whiteline specs, never over. Might be worth giving these a try again?

Mine are Tein NA's - actually the same diametre as stockers
Yeah, I know I could use camber pins, but because my car was been pranged in its previous life, I can't get an exact bloody setting out of them.
All on, one side will give me 1.5 degree's, the other will be 2.5
So I need say a base level of 2 or 3 degrees that I can then adjust further from the tops (without having the springs bind in the towers from rubbing.)
