those are not made anymore

the reason they are not made.... they break

would you want your a-arms to break while you're driving down the road? no

if you want more info you should search "rk sport a arms" on here and you'll get a ton of info

The round tubular ones break. The square ones don't to our knowledge, although they're a similar design.

Stitch welding the stock arm is a good substitute.

Use the search button next time please!

I have these on my car now and the handling differeance from stock is amazing, although i cant say exactly how much the actual arms did themselves, as i did new struts, springs lower arms bear brakes all at the same time.

300% better than stock and i have had no problems with the arms yet, and mine is a daily driver, but i have no front or rear sway bars, maybe this has something to do with it im not sure,but youd swear that my car hs huge sways by how it handles, but it has none.

If you can find them i say give them a chance, but there have been lots and lots of breakage stories about them.

That is only part of the reason RK Sport quit selling them, the other was that they didnt sell good enough to keep them in production and on the shelf.

Mine are the second design, i go tbrnd new off ebay for less than 200 bucks.
