Anyone using these? How are they?

I am curious about these too. But from what I have heard, they are stiffer and make the car a bit more repsonsive. And....they add a nice touch of pink under the car.

 

More pink! Just the way I like it.

 

i custom made mine arms. they are heavier but much stronger. mine work great. if i made a jig for them would anyone be interested?

 

The difference in the trailing/lateral links are the pillowball bushings, otherwise they are basically the same as stock. It just makes the back end more responsive overall. You can get the trailing and lateral links together from AV Sports for $700.

 

Ken: I want a ride if you get them

 

Like how much more responsive?

 

They reduce unsprung weight and help steering feel a little by replacing bushings. The best way to improve turn-in response other than better tires is to get stiffer bushings. The effect is more pronounced with better struts/springs too.

 

Does anybody know how much lighter the STI trailing arms are compared to the stock arms? I mean for the whole rear end(left and right sides).

 

Arn't the STi ones adjustable? thats what I always thought and saw.

Daios (Day-ohhss)

 

i made mine out of chromoly so they are very strong. i would probably sell them both for $350-400

 

No not at all. Bushings are the real difference. MRT makes a set of adjustable ones with stiffer urethane bushings. Cusco makes some adjustable ones (I'm 99% sure they are adjustable) with pillow ball mounts. The Cusco ones are more expensive than the STi ones.
