NP. I should check mine to see how they are doing. Last I looked the arms look fine but I have a torn CV boot. Time for some new axles, I guess.

Looks like their are out! Awesome.

I just bought some CPP arms though.

Yeah, preorder now and they are supposed to ship in November. I got an email from PureMS about it and saw they hadn't made any announcements on the boards yet. I posted something over on AW.

Did you get used CPP's? I thought he stopped making them some time ago.

Any advantage to these outside of track use?

Definitely, you can dial in an alignment for a lowered car that will allow the tires to wear evenly and track down the road as straight as an arrow...

The only downfall I see to these is that by using the OEM rubber bushings, if you track the car, under high stress the alignment settings will not hold.

I see, these might be in my future as I plan on going lower than my H&R set-up.

Very slightly used. They, effectively, look brand new. Sitting in a box in my basement until I buy coil-overs next year. Bought them from a fellow AZ member a few weeks ago.

hmmm interesting that they would use OE rubber bushings with this kit.

**Mike@PureMS** · 10-27-2008 09:54 AM

The arms are coming standard with OE bushings for a couple reasons.
1. They're cheap and keep the price of the kit down.
2. They're readily available. No custom parts to make, no need to search the world for the right parts. Thus see #1.
3. They work. No need to test other configurations, because we know these work exactly as they're supposed to.
4. They're quick and easy to replace.
5. They're quiet. No clunking, no clicking that you get from a spherical joint. They work as isolation to keep noise to a minimum.

We will be offering a spherical joint replacement as well. Consider it an upgrade for those track guys that don't want rubber bushings. It'll be be an option in a few months.

Polyurethane will NOT work in this application. There's too much side loading on the arms when you start adjusting the caster, and it will cause poly to fail very fast.

Hope that answers the questions.

I'll be interested to see what the price is w/ the non OE bushings. My friend is looking for something, not me. I'll send him the link, although I doubt he wants the rubber bushings.
