A good friend is putting them together for me. Should give a couple inches of extra clearance and crush through the oilpan and then set the subframe down. The outside heim I can always shim further too if I want to add more space. Uses the factory outter bushing which I got from Jesse. Should be finishing these up in the next few weeks. I'm splitting the ronals and refinishing the lips, hardware, and reasealing them (leaks). So it'll be a while before the car is on the ground. Just thought you guys might like to see. It's not fixing the geometry at all unless I shim the strut, just making more space, and keeping me from going through ball joints.

Nice, but If its not to late you might want to consider going with a threaded rod with a nut welded to the middle for adjustments, and a female-ended heim. Add two nuts on either side of the adjustment nut for locking it in.

Since this is a road car, I would prefer the attachment of the heims to the car keep them from rotating rather than a jam nut. I'll take the extra 10 minutes to undo the heims if I really need to adjust the track width.

Control Arms Version 2.0 from around december 10th.




Then I got side tracked:



The wife and I bought our 3rd set of Ronal Racings.



Should get version 3.0 today and get it fitted, then just build the other side. Kinda sucks that I'm justing using my instagram (theneek) photos, but whateves.

Not bad for 15s huh? I'm pretty sure the subframe will be on the ground when it comes off the jackstands.

what a car what a build what a sight to see im sure

[AMGwheelwhore]

Holy Ronal racings jelly! Love the car man

[1badg35]

Yeah seriously nick this makes all the difference. I would love to discuss the part sometime soon as I would much rather fab some control arms then start notching.
Awesome work so far with it.

And very jealous of the new Ronals. I almost picked up a set last week, but decided not to since the collection needs to thin out a bit

[SlowProgress]

We need updates.

[TheNeek]

We need updates.

Update is that things are getting done.

Here is a video Travis C took a while back when the bags first got done.
