Suspension Brakes 1st Gen Most liked posts in thread: Rear Lower Control Arm Options

I like the H-Sports because they have flexible bushings. If your intent is to adjust alignment and you don't seriously track your car, they work fine. Outmotoring has a lot of options on their site.

H-Sports also have zerk fittings allowing one to pull out that old grease gun at the bottom of the tool box in the back, clean off the dust and lube the bushings every year or so.

 

I have been running the IE arms for over 4 yrs and have had no issues.

 

I also have the H-Sport, got them from Way. Dito on all the comments made about them.

 

I have the H-sport rear arms. They're pretty sweet. Whichever arms you end up getting, make sure to check the stop nuts once a month. They backed out on me a couple times when the arms were fresh and new.

 

I had H-Sport on my previous MCS. They were easy to adjust and stayed quiet. I only used them during two track days but were fine. They are also not too strong so that if you crash the arms will bend rather than more expensive parts. I know from sliding my car into a curb.

 

It wouldn't be that hard to remove and paint.

 

Or just lower your car. Then no one would see it.

 

I'll bet it's not Rally low.

 

A. Mine will "go" just as much as it "shows". :cornut:

B. I wasn't saying you need to lower it a lot...I simply meant that after lowering it even a little the control arms are no longer visible, even when blue :arf: Easier than stripping and re-anodizing them

 

There was a couple good threads way back when on the sewing site. Check out the Promini LCA's - they're similar to H-sport but a different color.

 

TSW here and they have worked and held up well!

 

I've heard good things about the helix LCA's. They have boots to covering the joints, which is nice for daily drivers.

Hsport actually makes the ones for Promini. I can't recommend the Hsport control arms enough, I have customers that have had them on their cars since 2003 and not worn them out and AutoX bi weekly.
