I stumbled across these, and they interest me because of the rose joints. Just wondering if anyone is running these or if anyone had any feedback on them.

Those look pretty cool. Wonder if the their chromoly?

Yeah, most lower control arms are using bushes vs heim joints. Heres a recent thread where a member installed a set of BWR's. Their bushed as well except for the end heim joint https://www.evolutionm.net/forums/ev...trol-arms.html

Unless youve really modded your rear suspenion, using all hard bushes & heims, there is no real benefit IMO

i seen the thread about the BWR arms, I was just always told it was a downgrade to lose the OEM spherical bearing, then I found those japspeed arms. I’m running Fortune Auto 510s with 10k fronts and 12k rear rates. I’ve got a Prothane master kit, Energy Suspension rear trailing, and plus some other stuff from Whiteline that I’m going to be installing shortly.

We are in the same boat (510s w/10/12K Swifts as well).

What are we gaining by adding in these aftermarket arms?

Well honestly it keeps me from having to install my prothane bushings into the OEM arms lol. Plus maybe more adjustment in camber, plus some adjustable toe arms for more toe adjustment if needed.
