New to our excellent suspension lineup. Billet aluminum double adjustable lower control arms and panhard rod. The lower arms weigh 4 lbs a pair and with the panhard bar is 6.5 lbs. Superb strength and the lightest out there. Intro price is $289.99. Pics coming soon. They fit 82-02.

Brian, is that $289.99 for all three pieces? That's kick-***! I've been working on building some adjustable LCA's but I may just go ahead and buy some of these...

Billet aluminum LCA's and panhard would be way cool. Would these be as strong as chromemoly?

wish you could take credit cards <img border="0" title="" alt="[Sad]" src="gr_sad.gif" /> . ill see if i can scrape up the money, already sent $1000+ your way in the last couple months <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" /> . those arms sound awesome.

i assume they should hold up fine to street use?

To be totally honest I have one set on a street car and have about 3000 miles and have had no problems. They drive the car everyday so they should work for you.

Though this doesn't have to do with the billet LCAs and panhard rod, I wanted to give a strong thumbs up on the custom chromoly cage Madman built for me. The thing is awesome, and I have been getting rave reviews from people that have seen it. If these parts listed in this thread are of the same quality, then they should be really kicka$$.

Are these control lighter than the alumium metco control arm? How much lighter is your panhard than the stock one? Cheers <img border="0" alt="[Burnout]" title="" src="graemlins/burnout.gif" />

Yes, the LCA's and Panhard are MUCH lighter than the stockers....MUCH....and seriously 10x as strong.
I've got them on a 99' TA with 3800 Vig that I drive everyday and have beat and beat on them.....so far nothing but good results.
From the very 1st time driving the car home from his shop I noticed an IMMEDIATE difference in the car...there was a solid feel to the rear I've never felt before...only way to describe the difference is before the installation the rear felt like it "Floated" in the back, after the install it felt solid and attached, it's very easy to feel what the rear end is doing now.

And I will agree w/the above statement about his Rollcages...they are top notch!
