control arm

well as you all know i beat on my car pretty hard. i off road and all kinds of stuff. well i actually almost snapped the passengerside control arm in half. so im carless right now. i refuse to pay for the stock shitty tube type control arm. so im getting the
STI Spec C Aluminum
Lower Control Arm
For Subaru WRX Sedan

Put muscle on your control arms!

These rally-tough lower control arm kits come complete with everything needed to install, including stiffer LCA bushings. Made by Fuji Heavy Industries.

well then i couldnt stop since i need new pads in the front and my rotors are lookin a lil shotty so i got the rest of this stuff also.


Brembo
Power-Slotted Brake Rotors
For Subaru WRX, 2.5RS, Impreza, Legacy, Forester



Slots get the gas out...

Hard braking and high rotor temperature cause gas to build up under your pads, causing mushy pedal and the dreaded brake fade. Slotted rotors are better than cross-drilled rotors because the rotor is much less likely to crack. Each rotor comes with a swatch of temp-sensitive paint -- you can check this to see how hot your rotors are getting.



Braided Steel Brake Lines
For Subaru Impreza, 2.5RS, WRX and STi



Minimize that dreaded "mushy" feel in your brake pedal, and protect your brake integrity from flying rocks!


PBR ULTIMATE COMPOUND BRAKE PADS
For most Subarus



A new ceramic/Kevlar compound gives high-performance braking on the street - at a reasonable price! Latest technology from PBR/Axxis creates a high-grip pad, with shorter life but higher performance.

 

You Go Boy

nice jt!!

damn i thought u could barely afford gas, nice upgrades

 

Awesome, ALK is a good idea at the same time as well. Will be fun

 

get the ALK. it will be infintely easier to put on when you swap the control arms

 

i here ya. but i really need some stoping power! and it was the rotars or alk. the arms come with way stiffer bushings than stock so i had to pass on the alk for now.

 

are the brembos stock diameter or larger? and if they are larger i hope you got a caliper relocation kit..let me know if you want any help with either of these installs

 

That post was like commercial. You sponsored now or something? Or just cut-pasting the product descriptions?

:naughty:

 

JT you will love the new arms. Most people dont think about this as an upgrade but that is unsprung wieght and every ounce helps.

 

I think he may have been doing sweet jumps j/k

 

hahahahaha

they are the same diamiter. well prolly do this early in the week next week @ Genyas house. im sure if ya wanna stop by it would be cool.

i just cut and paste. it seemed like the best way do give the proper product info.

yes i did some research on these before i came off the loot to buy them. your right unsprung weight is a good thing to reduce.

well like i said im very rough on my car. really it might have happened long ago. i curbed that tire with a person on that side of the car. it didnt affect the alignment so i didnt think of it. Some how when the shop i get oil change from that rotates my tires and the other work ive had done in that area (bearings and new tires) they over looked it. it just got bad in the last week where driving got funny. but ive been on mountain runs, offroading, and alot of other stuff in my ride since then! prolly put like 15k+ on it since that curbing. ouch!




well thanks for the feed back fellas! all is well now! and ill do a write up on the parts, diy with pics of the install, and a review of Primitive who is who i ordered my parts from. :wavey:

 

Dude, Primitive is a great vender. I have bought both my roof scoops from them, they have alot of other good parts and used parts from thier rally car. Paul Eukland is very knowledgable and helpful when you have questions.

 

yes i emailed him the parts i wanted and got a call in 5 min. you never get that anywhere else. that and he shipped the same day as i ordered. i also was lookin at their used stuff and they have lots of it too. big thumbs to primitive.
