Add strength, eliminate flex and decrease overall weight and more importantly "unsprung" weight with a set of Madness New MINI Cooper S tubular front control arms.
The Madness control arms weight 2.5lbs less per arm than the stock control arms!
Madness control arms are manufactured from CroMoly tubular steel and feature precision laser cut ends to provide you with a very rigid, high quality upgrade to the factory suspension. These a-arms are built extremely rigid and are equally at home on the street or at the track, whether it be track racing or autocross. Both lower control arms are compatible with all stock components and come equipped with a mounting position for the factory DSC sensor.
Manufectured from Seamless CroMoly tubing
Completely TIG welded resulting in a stronger unit with a very professional appearance.
Has greater ball joint contact surface to help eliminate the ball joint pulling out of the arm
Control arm rod ends rated in excess of 30,000 lbs. radial load capacity.
Offers zero flex resulting in improved high and low speed stability.
Comes complete with Teflon lined spherical bushing.
Stronger and lighter than the factory stamped steel arms
Kit includes 2 control arms and 2 spherical bushings
Testimonial
I know that ALTA has their PRSS, and I am sure that if you look hard enough you can probably find a urethane bushing from Energy or someone else, but this is truly the answer to the question, What can I do to upgrade my front suspension? If you have replaced your rear control arms, then you already know how getting rid of rubber bushings and stock weight can increase handling. The feedback and increase in handling that you get from this is amazing. There is no mushy rubber bushing to take away the response. These babies have solid spherical bearings. These along with the tubular, not stamped steel, arms combine to give you ultimate control over your car like you have never felt before. I read about these and I know that a lot of people go the cheaper way by just getting the bushings. I also wondered if it was worth the trouble of installing these. I won't lie they are a bit of a pain, but if you installed your own sway bar or rear control arms, this isn't any harder that the both of those put together. After a few hours of work I finally when out for a test drive. I was blown away when I drove my car after installing them. If you thought you could push your car in a curve, imagine what you can do when you have pin point steering accuracy and true feedback from your suspension. I run about -2 degrees of camber in the front. If you are like me and run heavy camber, I am sure that you get rut chase going down the road sometimes. That went away too! It is unreal how this mod changes your ability to push the limits. If you are looking for the next big step in upgrading your suspension, this is definitely it!
