Not to bust your balls or anything but I think it would be unfair to 3SX if you were to take there measurements to construct your control arms to sell it for profit since they painstakingly worked there asses off to come to those measurements.

If you were to make yours form scratch or get there consent for there data then I would and others might consider buying from you if the price is right.

dude these things are so freaking simple, they freakin bought the parts out of a magazine

here check it out http://www.afcoracing.com

here you go i will help u out even futher
this is how u make your own control arms
anyone can do it, even a person dumb enough as me

tie rod end

Rod end with spacers
swaged steel tubes lengths 7.5-37 inchs

are u freaking happy now. that is how u make your own adjustable control arms. so i did not steal any ideas. i wanted to make my own so i can save myself over 250 bucks

all those parts are about 15-16 bucks a piece. it costs about 100 bucks plus shipping to have your own adjustable control arms

ok i am happy. i am still wondering what the length on the NON turbo adjustable control arms is. so i can make a set for myself and just myself.

i told everyone how to make your own so go out there and do it

Sorry 3sx i tried to keep it a secret

Thumbs up

Very good find.

That’s much better, share the wealth that’s what I always say. I just had to bust your balls a little since you wanted the measurements from the 3sx arms. I think if you were to take your own measurements and have it fit on your own car then no one can ever criticize you for making 3SX knock offs.
You should sell them I would love to be your first customer.

Very nice find!

Wish I could help you, but I don't have either 3SX or PPE arms...

So for less than $100 you can buy the parts you need to assemble a pair of arms on your own??? Wow! Very cool!

Anywho, I'm prolly gonna need some. Thanks for the post!

*EDIT* I just did a followup search for "swaged steel tubes" and found like another 6 racecar part places selling similar tubing for really cheap (check the first two links for even cheaper prices):

www.loufegersracing.com/swaged.html
http://www.stockcarproducts.com/susp9a.htm
http://www.secureperformanceorder.co...7&CategoryID=8
http://www.randys-racemart.com/swedsteeltub.html
http://www.dirtworksracecars.com/pricelist.html
http://www.kosiski.com/Catalog/cpg15.htm

I don't know about everyone else, but I'm gonna jump on this soon and build my own...

Hey nice find, if you do end up making a pair for yourself and everything goes right let me know. If you could make me a pair and ship them to me for half the 3sx price I would gladly buy them from you.....thats how you get tuner shops to lower prices! Brillaint! Keep us updated....someone give this man some measurements.

well for the camber arms i am thinking about 15 inches and for the toe arms i am thinking about 8 inches

anyone else want to guesstimate something

or have a real answer i want to order this stuff really soon


on the side note, i am glad that everyone knows how to do this now. i was hoping to make some money on it, but got to thinking about it and rather just gave the info out to the rest of the 3/S community

everyone remember me
