Advantages would be greatly improved rear suspension control and grip. Suspension members should operate in a single plane for best results. Both lateral rear suspension arms are prone to twist-I boxed the forward control arms on my car and it made a very noticeable improvement to the handling and ride. Got sick and tired of replacing the toe control arms when the bushings failed or some dope lifted my car up via the toe control arms and bent them.
Cost-wise we're looking at something like $125-135 for the double poly bushed type and $170-200 for the poly/spherical rod end type. The large variance in the second design is dependent on the type of rod end we supply (econo, w/ grease fitting, 2 piece, 3 piece or teflon lined). They will be offered at some kind of "special introductory" price with minimum quantities.

The prices I've quoted are per pair. They're very easy to install. Raise the rear of the car, insert jack stands or wooden blocks, remove 2 nut/bolts per side and remove stock arms. Reverse procedure to install then go for a rear wheel alignment (toe adjustment).
Sound OK?

OK, the pics will be taken this weekend when I can borrow a digicam. Should be able to post them early next week. To date, the double polyurethane bushed style are all that are done. The spherical rod end type are at the welders as I speak-I'm to pick them up on Monday 7/26. I'll paint them, then take pics and post. So there will be much more info. by the middle of next week. I'll probably post the pics here and run a group buy when I'm certain they're durable and roadworthy. Stay tuned.....

You see, I would be very interested, but I ordered something from you guys last year, and you never sent it to me. When I tried to reach you on the phone you guys never answered.
