Custom W-body LCAs Is there a sponsor/vendor on this forum who can make custom lower control arms for the W-bodies? Or does anyone know of a vendor that does/would.
As I outlined in this thread (Let's Talk Suspension: HiPer Strut), I, and I'm sure the entire W-body community, would be interested in an LCA which can connect to the W-body's front and rear mounting points (driver and passenger side front struts/wheels only) yet also connect to GM's new HiPer strut yoke.
The swap would involve acquiring the entire strut and yoke assembly. Existing W-body strut mounts will be used and custom LCAs will be needed. The benefits (near elimination of torque steer, better tire wear) alone are worth it in my opinion.
HiPer Strut's LCA:
