From ASS BAD to BAD ASS, the story of cheap ebay control arms

Got some goodies to show off. Bought some cheap control arms off ebay for pennies.


I literally spend more money on sugar based products in a week than I did on these nicely welded, chrome finished control arms/rods/shafts/things. The downside, is the heim joints on them SUCK. So, Motoria, spend $4.50 more per heim and get something quality so I don't have to scour the web for this crap.

But the heims from Midwest Control Products aren't really crap... They're kind of beefy, and 3-piece, and teflon lined. Much bigger, much badder. Definitely more ass.

But, as with any new ass, it's always best to use protection. Seals-It rod end boots are stretchy enough for even the biggest of rod ends!!



So badass, this could be construed as control arm porn:

Chris is coming down tonight to help with the teardown of the subframe so I can get these bad-boys on the car. I still need to figure out what bushings to use for the main subframe mounts, though. It's a three way race between solid aluminum, solid urethane, or urethane filler with aluminum collars..... WHICH ONE WILL WIN?!?!? What will the G-Fab's "neo-Panda" (nPS14) be running by the Moss Runoff? WHY HAVE THESE UPDATES BEEN SO SLOW AS TO MAKE LIFE CRAWL BY SO SLOWLY WITH NO REASON TO LIVE WITHOUT KNOWING WHAT GFAB IS UP TO?!?!?!?!?!?!!!!11oneone
