Default Adjustable rear control arms.

Hi guys,

I havent been here in a while mainly due to work and lack of time to work on the car. I was just seeing though if there is any interest left in the Adjustable rear control arms. I have had them on my car for almost a year now and still problem free. I still have 5 sets of arms with upgraded steel u brackets instead of the aluminum ones i'm using on my car. I let them sit for a while to make sure the design worked well, which it does. Now i'm ready to sell some. Unfortunately i wont be making any more for now due to work, although, i can order the parts by part number, not just one offs. the main tubes are anodized black hex tube. the u bracket(wheel side)is 1/4" hot rolled steel. Theball joint (frame side) is a sphericaljoint with a3/4" shaft, Not the tiny ones other manufacturers use like 1/2" or 5/8". i overbuilt these arms from every aspect to make sure they dont fail. i'm thinking $250 a set.i can takepics again but i posted them in the past.

Let me know if you want any.

I cant believe the is no interest. I'd be willing to meet with fellow TTers in the SF bay area to take a look at these arms. i guarantee you'll be pleased with the construction. If i get 5 people to buy them i'll drop the price to 200 a set. Thats how much i have invested in these things. Machine shop time, cad design time...not even counting my own time (and yes i do make a decent cut just gong to work). Lets get something going, My Supermoto CRF needs new wheels.

Paypalor cash in person only.

I just calculated the price for a set of arms boxed and shipped and it comes out to about 235. so i will use that as a standard shipping charge. it will be lower if you pick them up in person as the paypal fees are 3.5 % of the total and there is no shipping charge. i wont do cashiers check or money orders, or vintage baseball cards from 1995. I will accept a Hank Aaron signed bat or Barry's 75X ball. If you have a set of Supermoto/ Motrad wheels for a CRF450.......i'd be willing to pay about 700 need to be 17x3.5 front 17x4.5 rear talon or equivalent hubs, abig brake rotor and bracket for thefront, andblack or red excel rims.


I stand corrected. there is no price difference for standard. its only weight. and size. i tried boston i tried st paul i tried los angeles. it was all the same.
