Posted July 20, 200618 yr comment_175277 I am new to these forums and hope I'm doing this correctly. I am trying to find out what selections are available for adjustable front control arms. lca I am looking for contact information. Any used ones available? This is a street car and I am looking for something affordable not necessarily race quality.

July 20, 200618 yr Author comment_175292 ThanksThese look fantastic. Way better than the welded steel one Ive seen.Not that looks matter to me under the car.Do you know if it comes with everything shown in the picture. (ie including the adjustable tension rod)How does the aluminum hold up? Aluminum can have a real tendency to crack in certain applications.Do you know anyone that has used these or given any feed-back on them.

Aluminum can have a real tendency to crack in certain applications.Do you know anyone that has used these or given any feed-back on them.Specific answers are just a phone call away, to Arizonazcar. Regarding the "tendency to crack in certain applications", all metals are subject to your comment. Proper engineering and testing usually address that matter. Oh, and you should thank your wife profusely for buying you the Lotus....very, very cool cars!!!

July 20, 200618 yr comment_175345 Oh, and you should thank your wife profusely for buying you the Lotus....very, very cool cars!!! Tom, you make me crazy! I had to read this thread and Bill's profile over and over to see if I could find any reference to a Lotus! I want a Exige NOW! I saw one 2 weeks ago at the AutoX's and fell in Love. If I sell all my Datsuns, I might just have enough!

Fast, good gearing, and supercharged....Now If I can only get one of those Ariel Atoms....

July 21, 200618 yr comment_175572 my ex-boss apparently had the first ariel atom in the states, never got a ride, but the fit and finish on those things was pretty darn impressive and it is very customizable from the factory so you can get exactly what you want for any budget...cooper s is nice too! I just picked up ours last night at the dealership. Still getting to know it but so far I've got one silly grin I can't seem to wipe off.

July 22, 200618 yr comment_175597 I've tested several Cooper S's, and in the process, traumatized several dealers. I WILL be getting an "S" with the JC Works package (200hp!) when my budget allows. Basically, this means paying off my wife's M Roadster, which fits me like a glove as well. Unfortunately, she will insist that I sell the Z (we don't need THREE sports cars!). Alas, I digress- Enjoy the Lotus to the fullest extent of the law, if not a bit more!
