SPL FUCAs arrive tomorrow.

Rebuilt the foam for both side bolsters and one thigh bolster for my Sparco seat. Driver and passenger flooring is now soundproofed with CCF. Interior of Z is fully reinstalled. Just finished sanding the rust off a used pair of SPL rear camber arms that I'm installing this week as well.

Rust on SPL parts? The arms are aluminum. You must mean the adjuster parts. When you put them back together. Use anti-seize on all the threads. When the fuca's come. Take them apart and anti-seize the threads on them too.

The caster arms are the titanium alloy ones, not the billet. Rust at points where paint has worn through. And thank you sir! I have a bottle and gloves all ready to go.

Hate to break your bubble. They are not made from Ti. If they was. The price would be about one grand. Not $299. Ti does not rust. Why do think they use it for replacement parts in the human body.

This is from their website.
SPL Parts Camber Arms are constructed with 1.25" 4130 Chromoly tubing,

These companies are slick with their marketing! The Titanium series only adds Ti hardware, as Rusty pointed out:

Blue Anodized Titanium hardware shaves even more unsprung weight from the arms, without compromising strength.

I have another bubble you can burst. It's on my left *** cheek

Getting back on point, Chromoly is steely steel. So it rusts.

Yes sir! Couple quick coats of primer and rustoleum. Maybe later down the road I'll get them powder coated something wild, like real lol

Could never figure out why SPL would say Ti Series, when the only Ti is the bolts.

SPL still makes the best suspension parts.
