I think they're ready. Some online retailer was selling them, but I can't remember who.

Don't know yet, I haven't installed them.
I'm sure they'll do the job, whatever you do, don't pay 800 something dollars for 350evo control arms. ph*cken rip off. they make a nice looking product, but it is not worth the 800 price of admission.

Ok, it was my bad that I didn't include this in my other post, I haven't gotten them yet. so i can't tell you what the adjustment mech is, im assuming that it's a slider.

My friend was the one who ordered them. Quoting him, he said,"they look solid and the blue's pretty nice." I'll probably get them installed in the next two weeks or so.
I will definitely let you know how it all works out.

Well depends on what your defintion of 'worth' is. If your only looking for camber correction then yes, perhaps the Cusco's are a better value since they are significantly less. But if you go racing and want to maintain good suspension geometry then the 350Evos are more likely superior due to the spherical bearings whereas the Cuscos use softer rubber bushings.

I'm sure the cuscos can withstand the rigors of tracking to maintain whatever kind of suspension geometry.
Once again, they make a nice looking product, but it is not worth the 800 price of admission.

I agree. I just ordered mine from Adam at z1auto.com. Got the last one but he has another 10 on order.

Cusco has been in the suspension biz for quite a while and they have a great rep. At $422 shipped it's less than half of the 350evo's ($850 + shipping.)

Now that there are more choices, I think the others will have to lower their prices to be competitive.

AH HA! So your the culprit that beat me to the last set! My tire wear is ridiculous so I decided not to wait on the next shipment and got the Kinetix A-arms instead. Hopefully they are a decent quality piece.

Nate, this wouldn't have happened if you and edretti didn't gang up on me and convince me to lower the ride. Remember?

Quality is not a word I would use to describe the Kinetix A-arms. I ordered a set and ended up selling them before I ever had them installed. I think there is a reason they are half the price of the Stillen/350evo sets.
