Rear lower control arms

Does anyone have any experience, good or bad, with either the Agency Power or Megan Racing Lower control arms?

Be sure to post up after you've driven on them. My bushings are shot so I'm not sure if I want to get these or just replace the stockers.

We have the Agency Power Control Arms on our race Evo. The build quality of the arms themselves seem pretty decent, that being said, the bushings within the arm seem to be wearing too quickly. They have deformed/crushed and we are presently looking for a replacement bushing option. Our car is at the higher level of track performance than most and this may be part of the issue, but if I were to use them on a daily driver/HPDE car I would keep a careful eye on the bushings and replace as needed. We are currently looking into a custom bushing solution and will post back with more info as I have it.

Dan,
I'm almost done designing a new solution for you on the rear camber link. It will be marketed by an Evom vendor. Maybe Robi-Spec, English, or Spec-Ops.

It will solve the prematurely wearing sphericals and be lighter than the megan and agency power units. And it won't bend

The spherical has held up well, I should be more specific. It is the two rubber bushings for the spindle and shock damper mount. If you want what I believe is the fastest street tire car in the world to test your arms, we are all ears!

(Off topic, what is the material you have used in your trailing arm? Have you FEA'd it?)
