Facebook will lock you out if you post anything on selling dogs or even pictures. That's why on Facebook. The Peta groups would blast you with complaints and they would lock you out.

Was going to try and do FUCA's alongside rear arms tomorrow morning, but the more I read about it. The less certain I feel. Mainly due to the alignment afterwards needed. Apparently the Z1 arms need to be removed each time to adjust further and then readded for proper alignment? Idk if my local shop will even touch them if that's the case.

Wait. So you have to remove the Z1 FUCAs to adjust them?!?

Sounds just like a Z1 developed part

Yea. it's looking that way. Not a wicked bad design, but still time consuming. I have a friend who's dad owns a shop. Just need to wait for them to calm down a bit and can steal a lift and his Hunter machine to do the alignment. Can take all the time needed then.

Id be more worried about those things breaking. Not sure if they changed the design since, but thats what steered me away from those and going with SPL.

Yea. Once they revised the ball joint and that lock issue, nobody seems to be having any other issues. Th posts I found were back in 2018 before the revision came out.

Meh, Id still go with the proven product. I saw that video where the dudes fuca broke while he was on the track. Not sure which fuca it was, maybe SPC? But that scared the crap out of me.

No track driving for me. The car gets less than 3k driven on it yearly. I did get the race mount versions.

Take pics during install. EW will try to top you with extra sticker mods.

They have been changed. It was a problem with the first batch. Still a no go because of having to remove the to adjust

I honestly never knew they had to be removed to be adjusted. Never would have bought last black friday if I knew that. Oh well. Less learned. Doubt they can be returned now.

I'll get them installed at a buddies shop eventually.

Dumped my Tesla earnings into Draftkings. Here's hoping it grows.
