Are these control arms a copy of the Spec C lower control arms? Do you know how much front caster they produce?

Also, need to find out if they'd fit my Hawk.

They will fit bug, blob and hawk.
There is a possibility they will even fit a classic but I cant confirm that, maybe someone else could chip in on that one

Thanks for your efforts. Yes, it was my expectation that the newage dimensions are much the same, if not identical, between bug, blob & hawk.


How come you're taking this stuff off? Too aggressive? I believe the STi has 3.5 degrees of front caster as standard, but the OEM Spec C arms raise that to 5 degrees. The anti-lift kits, such as that made by Whiteline only add about 0.5 degrees.

Sivo, don't doubt what you say, but the design of these arms is not the same as the Spec C arms. Lots of info on the NASOIC forum, such as here:

http://forums.nasioc.com/forums/show....php?t=2629231

The genuine Subaru items have the bent leading edge to shift the front bushing position. Looking at the arms you are selling it looks like Chevron have achieved this movement differently.

I've driven a Spec C, so I know Spec C arms would be okay for the road. The Chevron arms could be too much for me.

Increased front caster is definitely a good mod. Wouldn't have been done on the Spec C if it wasn't.

Agreed

Im going to close this thread and re advertise the arms, i dont want to mislead anyone with the spec c referral.
I will adjust the price accordingly.
