saw both of those one their as well, the throttle body i have heard of before, but not the upper arms. i wonder if they offer more adjustability then the stock g35 ones... only person i could even think to ask on here would be phil down at grubbs....

I was reading through these impressive spec sheets and i see most of these guys are running the front a-arms from an m35...anyone know the benefit of that?

couldn't find anything about the m35/45 front upper control arm either. But I'd guess it's not adjustable.

If anything for race cars you want no adjustability and maximum stiffness. It might be that it is the correct length to get the correct camber control at the suspension geometry's ideal ride height. Note most of the cars are similar ride height.

Interesting that the winner won on 225/40-17 tires while everyone else was running 245-265/18. Maybe way of adjusting ride height while keeping proper suspension geometry? Maybe the rules don't allow roll center adjusters?

And those cars are what I call proper fitment . Look at that nice adequate ride height, that nice controlled body roll, that nice camber control on compression on the outside tires. Function>>form.

It doesn't really say how many HP for most, said one dyno'd at 340, another at 290, the g put out 328.
