Anyone using the lower front arms (4 point) on their car?

I've got this fitted but i'm using the std steel arms. I think though, i may have a problem if the suspension goes on full drop and the arms may or will probably hit the brace.

Are the alloy arms different in shape to the steel ones?, as i think these may give a bit more clearance.

Any ideas?

Or can anyone post pics showing the 2 type of arms?

Thnx

Better!
I've got the Cusco 4 point lower arm and while I was working on the brakes today I snapped some shots for you
I have the std steel arms and Eibach springs fitted (shouldn't make a differance).

Thanks Iain

The problem is when you lift the wheels off the ground, the lower arms hit off the brace.

Did you notice any difference in handling at all, with the braces fitted to your car?

Alan,
That pic is with that side of the car jacked up (so the suspension should be on full droop). The otherside is still on the ground if that makes a difference.

The car feels a lot tighter and responsive to steering inputs, I seem to be able to hold more speed through corners and get on the power earlier (could be me though). Almost sounds like I know what I'm talking about

Iain.
Ps. Will have a chat with my mechanic as he had the car up on his 4 point jack last week.
