GI: Tubular LCA's

Once I have a chance to take a good look at the front end of my rally car, post racing, I'll write up a new review of Jim's front arms. But, my impression from this past weekends race, AWESOME. I had a lot of confidance in the arms, and each rock hit and jump just kept reinforcing that feeling. As for the bolts, like Jim said, don't overtighten them. The rear nut, I ended up going with a nyloc nut, so I wouldn't have to tighten it too much to stay in place and cause unnecessary binding.

Which rear nut are we talking about? Looking forward to a complete write up from you or anyone else. I'm a couple weeks away from putting my car back together, so i'll be sure to ask MANY questions in here.

Mine are going to be under some extreme force with the grip from the 275 width Hoosiers, i'm worried about stuff backing out, but binding might even be worse.



And Ryan, i've already got a pair from you, dammit! Don't tell me i was the only one to buy some....

you/atomic. thats it for rears. 4 more sets without homes

[concealer404]

Damn.

There was someone else building an SMF BG... maybe it was Cody? Shoot him a pm maybe, but i don't remember if he bought these arms or not.

Ryan I'll take a set of rears on the 9th if you've still got anything left---they'll fit nice into a project somewhere down the road...

Like to see you stuff those 275 Hoosiers up in there---how do you plan on doing that?

[FE3-323]

sounds good to me. same address?

Whoa whoa.... "in" won't apply, here.

They're actually shorter than stock, and wayyyy shorter than what i had been running on that car. I was running 205/60-15s on the car, going to 275/35-15 A6s for competition. Probably run staggered setup with 225/45/15s in the back.

I would like more width in the back than that, but there's a gap between 225 and 275 in A6s.

I am building a SMF BG... I all ready have a full set of the sphericals... just no installed yet... I opted out of buying the front control arms.. but rears are in the works...

[JPmotorsports]
