New ProForged Upper Control Arms

[TheBandit]

The option list for tubular arms continues to grow.



Some questions:
- How much reward offset is built in for increasing caster and what range of adjustment do the slugs have?
- Will there be a bumpstop added?
- MIG welded? looks like it
- Tubing size(s)?
- Mild steel DOM, chromoly or?
- Country of origin?

He did say that there would be different slugs offered so you could fine tune the caster, with the max gain being 5 degrees, but I'm not sure how much is built into the arms and how much comes from the slugs.

I sent Mr. Kanter a link to this thread so I'm sure he will be in here shortly with more specifics than I can offer.

Cliff - thanks for posting this up and sending us the link!

These are a flat arm designed for maximum clearance. To my knowledge, they are the only tubular arm on the market that uses a 0.90" taller ball joint. This tall ball joint achieves an aggressive but streetable negative camber curve. We use a screw-in style ball joint for a clean design and maximum travel in all directions. Low friction Delrin® bushings are used for smooth and predictable handling.

Thanks for the interest! These arms are the first prototypes and we are still in the process of nailing down a final design. The preliminary answers are below:

- We are shooting for 3-5* positive caster at max adjustment. The final figure depends on the amount of frame clearance we have to work with. When we have a final figure, we'll definitely post it up.

- We will be including 3 slugs - "0" offset (seen in the photo), a mild offset, and an aggressive offset. The aggressive offset slugs currently have the ability to move the arm 0.375" from the "0" offset position. This would end up being somewhere between 3-5 degrees.

- It is MIG welded in the USA.

- The tubing is 1" OD, .219 wall thickness, 1018 mild steel DOM.
