    These are pretty much like the Gruven arms I just swapped out for MadMax arms and are only meant for RACING, not a DD.

    Wen I took off the Gruven arms after a couple years, they were fairly worn on the inside of the ball (yes, I kept them well-lubed) and was told at the time of purchase that they would be good for DD use. Well then the came out with the sealed end, and then with the poly bushing ends saying THOSE were better for DD use.

    I just contacted Max and he set me up with a set of his control arms and was GREAT to deal with.

    I'm just afraid someone will get these eBay arms and use them for DD use, then having to replace them in a couple years.

    Never underestimate the stopping power of a tree.

    Yeah, I would def go with Max's arms. I wouldn't trust that "Megan Racing" sh!t.

    No offence to anyone ment but yes i have seen madmaxs arms and they look good. But i didnt have enough to get them. I figure if these last me till next summer then i would be happy. In tje end alls he did was copy some one elses design amd maybe modified it from the original some. For the price his are good no dought. I just saw these as a cheaper alternative to get me by. If the quality's good then who knows

    Sorry, didn't realize you had bought them. Didn't mean to come off dikish.
    The MM arms aren't a copy of anyone's control arms. They are arms that addressed the issues that everyone else seemed to keep missing/ignoring. I've needed adjustables from Max for a while (destroying my brand new tires). But I haven't bought them yet because I have other things that are taking priority. That's why my car isn't very low. If I drop my car to where it looks right my poor little 1/2 K-Mac would be showing its ass. Once my e85 tune is in play, it will be time to talk to Max. Lol, I also need an RSB

    typically the arms that don't last, fail. That's the bad thing.

    At least they arent the forge or nuespeed style. Then this would be a bad decision

    The spherical bearing ends don't make the arms a bad design. They are meant to remove any "slop" in the arm. the do wear out. You can simply replace the whole worn end, rather than spending so much on new arms. If you are terribly worried, you can replace them with bushings ends as well.

    If you can, would you pull the bearing end out our the arm, then measure the threaded side or hole?

    I think I will save the cash and buy these as well.
    It's not always about "racekar"...

    Curious to see the quality. I went with the MadMax arms as they've been proven tried and true.
    Do it right or do it twice.

    Bags and wheels don't make show cars. Ingenuity and originality are lacking in the scene.

    Max's are the best on the market and the only ones I'll ever spend my money on a gain. The grüvenparts ones I have are slowly rusting away as they sit on my car in the garage

    It looks like 1/8" just bent. Your best bet would be to find c channel and just cut a small piece out of it

    None and tons of adjustment. And durability looks like good product so should last

    Awesome...I need these BAD. My camber is not as much of the issue...but the combination of toe and camber are making my tires look "interesting"...quite scalloped. I will give these a shot as well and report back.
