Default Anyone know about these adj. LCA's?

Found these on ebay and was wondering if anyone's ever heard of the company of their work quality.

It does not say what they are made from. I would assume Mild Steel and have no clue on wall thickness. May be a good deal and may not.

They are built from aluminum.

We have a similar set up available just use QA1 Endura series rod ends along with Chrome Moly tube adapters to insure thread strength. They are available in mild steel or chrome moly.

If you have any questions please ask.

Thank you!

I think i'll just stick with yours. Didn't realize they were alumin. Wouldn't trust them to hold together over the course of a few years of beatings.

Thank you

Hit me up when you are ready and I am glad to help.

I am not aware of any aluminum control arms failing...but what I don't like is the thread durability, this is why we stick with steel and use Chrome Moly threaded adapters to insure thread durability.

J&M is big in the mustang world. I would stick with BMR, UMI, or Spohn.

That i will do. Just gotta sell my current LCA's. Then I will be going with your adj. Poly/RE LCA's. You guys deff. make quality ****. I'm liking the PBH, LCA reloc. brackets i got from you guys so far.

Do you guys make a rear drag bar, or plan on it anytime soon?

Ryan and UMI build great stuff and Ryan has taken great care of me over the years. You really can't go wrong there and he'll take great care of you too.

To answer the other question, I'm running those same arms on my road race car and honestly they should be good for something approaching a .6 second 60 foot time (based on some engineering calculations I've seen) and will be more than plenty strong.

However, you're dealing with two great choices, so you can't go wrong.

Good luck and have fun!
