I would like to do mine, especially since the clearcoat is going but it's not a big deal. It's not a show car and it's my DD so I can't do away with my brakes for any moment of time. Nice shots though. You put a lot of work into that car. Nice to see another CT Evo owner (although I've moved to MA now).

Looking great Tommy,

I can say these control arms are great the rear end of the car feels very solid and I didnt need to spend a fortune on getting my old bushing taken out and pushed in by a machine press. In the end... you save money buying the arms instead of buying bushings and having them installed.

They also look sexy from the rear..

haha this man knows what hes talking about
pressing the bushings in is probably a two hour job or at least thats what theyd charge
the bushings themselves are an easy 150$
right there youre looking at close to 300$
also where the stock lca has a bushing
these have a metal tie rod end style fitting which will make the rear feel WAY more solid
and the weight savings and easier alignment adjustments make these worth the money when normal places charge 400-450$ for these install is about an hour for the diyer
i dont know im very happy with them and i havent even driven the car yet
