    Thumbs up Heinous billet rear control arms

    Installed yesterday. Nice upgrade! Car feels a lot more sure footed much better in corners and acceleration.

    got them here: http://adtr.net/sunshop/index.php?l=...t_detail&p=147

    Really nice looking too - for those of us with BLACK MM's

    Nope I have the factory bars on front and rear. The Energy Suspension graphite impregnated polyurethane bushings are way better than the factory ones. Dare I say it feels like a Miata?

    According to Heinous.....

    • CNC machined from 6061 T-6 aircraft grade aluminum. Milled pockets and holes for the lightest possible weight.
    • Anodized black with the chamfers cut to show the aluminum.
    • Energy Suspension graphite impregnated polyurethane bushings installed for long term noise-free service. No grease fittings needed.
    • Improves handling in acceleration, cornering and braking. Makes the car feel more sure footed.
    • Fits all 98 plus panthers
    • Perfect for light to medium modded Panthers. For higher horsepower vehicles, I’d suggest stepping up to the Metco bar
    Step up to the metco bar? So they are admitting that their product isn't as strong as the metco product. So you would have to spend over $400 for the metco set-up down the road if you go SC.
    You could go from mild to wild with the Sparta arms for $25 cheaper then Heinous and over $100 cheaper then Metco and out perform both in your choice of color. (shameless plug)

    Not sure about that - Spectragod has Henious billet arms with 472 rwhp and no problems. How many guys are SC with stock CA's ?? (a ton I'm sure) Henious arms are way beefier than stock.

    Nothing against Sparta - but I wanted billet. They are $100 less than Metco and just as good or better IMHO.

    I think it's apples to oranges. Any tubular or billet control arms are leaps and bounds above stock.
    You "feel" the difference because you want to "feel" the difference. Since you just spent money on the upgrade you "have" to feel the difference

    I'm looking to eliminate the double pump process I have to follow right now to get the pedal hard
