Anyone know of some decent light weight front lower control arms? Lots of alloy bits and pieces for the rear but not much for the front.
What are u guys running and what's around?

never heard of any companies that make aftermarket front lower arms, guess they never really needed to; camber can be set with adjustable upper arms, roll centre with the buddyclub adjusters and caster by adding shims behind or in front of the standard arms. why not just refurbish your stock ones and paint them whatever colour you like? would look pretty cool imo

Black is a pretty colour lol
Just looking to save some up sprung weight and just weight in general, just thought it was odd that no body made anything

ek gli / cxi front control arms are single piece and hollow metal control arms and weigh abit less than say solid EK/DC/EG control arms....NFI if they suit due to the fact they dont have swaybar mounting !

sprung weight can be reduced in many other ways, unless you've completely stripped your car and have nothing left haha. unsprung weight is more important haha

why dont you make a mould of the R/L front control arms and mack a alloy cast ? (same as superpro arms etc) might be a few hundred thousand sales in it for you lol
