These arms will see minimal flexing, but enough to be noticed under hard driving... the stich welds will be fine in adding the rigitiy needed... I actually modeled this after the nismo arms, which use quite a but less welds...

Yeah looks awesome. I'm very interested in doing something like this for my uspension bits too. How long did it take you to do the arms?

Hi -

I'm a Q45 owner who needs rear upper control arms. Could you identify which ones you chose, and let me know where you found them? Thanks in advance - Pat
