These would be powdercoated gloss black and include ball joints. I currently have 2 bolt tubular control arms, tubular rear toe arms, cougar harness bars, and I am working on a traction bar setup that should work with both contour and cougar 4 and 2 bolt setups. You can check the 2 bolt setups at Site to see pics of existing control arms.

They allow a slightly wider wheel (at least in my setup they did) without the rubbing issue. I can not attest that it will eliminate wheel hop for everyone, but all that have installed these on their vehicles, including myself @ 340 whp, have had little or no more issues with wheel hop. I can post links to NECO forums of people that have installed these and love them, if you would like. These are streetable, however they are alittle noisy, but not noticeable when cruising.

I am a cougar owner trolling on your board.

It's not mind-numbing but much more and it will be. Someone mentioned that the unibody/subframe assembly wouldn't like the stress of the impacts sent through these.

Each set of the control arms comes with 2 sets of the bushings just for this reason. And future bushings are sold at $15 a set and that includes shipping.
