so the front end is like evo x or just the control arm. is there anywhere on the web where we can check the part numbers for the control arms from RA to evox, 9, 8 to see if they would be the same

the part numbers are different because the evo's are aluminum and the ralliart's are stamped steel.
i still need to get a set side by side to be exactly sure, but with my imperfect measuring in-between working on the cars i noticed like a 1/4" variation in the width of the arms but the front to back was always exactly the same. im not sure if it's the curvature of the arms that's throwing me off or if, in fact, they are slightly different
this would indicate, if my measurements were correct, that installing the evo's arms would add a good deal of negative camber to the setup and may have other issues that have yet to be found, though i would think a good suspension setup with a decent amount of camber adjustment could correct most of the difference
