Default installed zzp control arms

Very very satisfied with the new versions car handles great and was still able to retain the factory sway bar setup by unbolting ball joints and flipping them so the bracket wouldn't hit the sway bar. Eventually I'll upgrade to the gmpp front but that will be another day

tubing is way thicker on the revised versions i dont know why they havent advertised on the website but the new ones are simply beautiful. The rod ends they supplied come with rubber boots and greasable horizontal bushings

these were the old ones...hard to tell the diamater from crappy cell phone pics but they are noticeably thicker in person

Nice! Been looking at these for awhile, but had heard much good yet. Why didn't you use the boot on the front Heim?

I just did the AGX struts with the Dorman 127-100 sway bar replacement. Amazing improvement over stock! (mostly the sway bar).

I'll be doing coil overs really soon but I tore the boots on accident trying to count threads and make sure both rod ends were installed properlet

Be careful! I was one of the lucky ones who had the old versions break on them while in the car moving. Luckily I was only doing 15-20mph but I still ended up with a bent control arm mount on the subframe.
