Default Tubular control arms

Who makes Molly tubular control arms and spindles for 2 nd gen Ta besides TRZ? I don't really want them but I need to lose 400 lbs and get down to 3100 by March so I think I will start with the arms

Nice stuff Bruce but I am only doing it to save weight. The BMR stuff is heavy. We unbolted 200lbs of weight bars out already but need another 259. They lightened the class across the board 250 lbs for next year. Re had a lot bolted in the back to get the percentage to where the car would work. Now we have to take an equal amount of the front to keep that same percentage. The car is finally starting to work we had a few 123 60 ft times and see the potential for some mid to high teens

These are pretty nice. http://autofabcart.net/tubularcontrolarm-1.aspx

Honestly though, if you are ready to buy you should probably jump on the Smith Racecraft arms as they are on sale for only $795.

I personally have their a-arms and rack kit and they are awesome pieces.

Thanks

I believe there was about 15lb difference per side. I also switched to coil overs so lost a couple of pounds there. The heaviest thing on the front of my car was the factory disk brake setup!

Good idea! It would have been in 3 magazines already this year. How many would they have been in on your car?

I don't race to get in magazines.

Last time I saw you in a magazine there was a 5' fireball coming out of your cowl hood!
