brainfood · 01-27-2007, 02:38 PM

New item just released! Orangetree front lower control arms for s-chassis, both s13 and s14 instock ready to ship. This is a group buy price for the first 5 units. These control arms are very sturdy pieces with cast teflon spherical bearing and allow you to adjust roll center on the front of the car. Comes with spacers for the lower ball joint to improve suspension geometry on lowered cars. Also has adjustable steering stops built into the arm. These are a great product for anyone that has adjustable arms and wants to finish off their suspension, gets rid of the last of the stock bushings. Really tightens up the front end, also allows you to adjust camber by adjusting the length of the lca or can adjust track width. Thanks for looking. The first 5 will be sold at this price after that the group buy will be closed.

Price: $425 +ship
In most cases shipping costs will be $10-15

Payment to:
[email protected]

Any questions can be posted here or email me at [email protected]

If you are interested in references I can provide them or you can lookup my ebay feedback brainfood1182 100% positive.
Thanks for looking I will have more pics of these installed later in the week.

brainfood · 02-01-2007, 04:36 PM

Thanks, surprised there hasnt been more interest. I heared the price and I jumped on my set with the quickness. I love mine on my car very good quality, I will post impressions after "testing" this weekend.

irax · 02-01-2007, 04:40 PM

this should fit q45 and z32's as well
im trying to cash out my vacation time so i can buy these :-( damn me and no more parts to sell!

Flybert · 02-01-2007, 05:44 PM

Yeah, I can't wait to hear a review on how these things perform at the track this weekend.

articdragon192 · 02-01-2007, 09:01 PM

If they work for Z32s, I'd be interested.

Arms should work, only factor would be which ball joints does it use? S13 or s14 if you figure that out then just order the arms that match the ball joints you are using.

*NemeGuero* · 02-02-2007, 11:25 PM

DDammnn, LCAs are baller. I wish I were baller.

nrg · 02-03-2007, 02:15 AM

do you sell them as S13 length with s14 ball joint? These are for people with 5 lug on their s13 btw.

irax · 02-03-2007, 11:01 AM

they are adjustable length y ou would just ask for a s14 shank

brainfood · 02-03-2007, 10:33 PM

Yeah for s13 with s14 knukles. ie. 5-lug conversions just order s14 arms, like Ib said they are adjustable length so you set track width wherever you want it and then just adjust camber and toe accordingly with your top plates and tie rods.

*Update*
Full day at the track testing and I must say I am very happy with how the car performed, drove great all day, great steering response and car felt much more stable. Also fixed some of my binding issues and the car has really good angle now. Anyone looking to step up your suspension these are quality pieces and they performed great on the track.

irax · 02-03-2007, 10:58 PM

i hope you still have a pair for sale after i get my vq35de fund sorted away.

ronmcdon · 02-04-2007, 12:41 AM

there is my install thread it has lots of installed pics, you can easily rattle can them any color before install or if you want something a little more durable color you can powder coat them, rattle can would be super easy though just take the rod ends off and spray them flat black no big deal.

Are the s14 lcas any longer than the s13 lcas? If so, is it the typical, iirc, 10mm? Considering my wheel setup, I don't think I can afford anything longer.

Zemus · 02-04-2007, 03:31 PM

I have these arms, very good quality..

JesusFreakDrifter · 02-04-2007, 03:52 PM

i've seen some of there suspension stuff on p2m for relatively cheap, and i was wondering whether anyone has anyone experiences with those pieces in particular (ie; ruca, rear toe link rear traction link,etc.)

Length is adjustable so you can set it same length as stock arm, stock s14 arms are longer than stock s13 arms, these arms are same length for s13 and s14 application only difference is the mount for the knuckle as they are adjustable length so you can make them as long as stock s13 arms or longer than s14 arms if you want to widen track width.

brainfood · 02-10-2007, 04:34 PM

No real interest in these? Had them to 3 track events so far, work great, love how the car feels, cant say enough good things about them.

irax · 02-11-2007, 12:09 PM

i will most likely PM you about these this weekend.

hitman · 02-11-2007, 02:12 PM

when the fuck did ib get positive rep.

irax · 02-11-2007, 04:43 PM

same time you did :-*

brainfood · 02-15-2007, 04:56 PM

Looks like msrp was just set on these and they are available through retailers now. I only have a couple of sets left and then they are gone. Closing this group buy one way or the other on the 1st of March. MSRP was set at $575 and plan on paying much more than $425 from most retailers, only a couple of sets left at this price!!! And they have been branded Battleversion not orangetree.

SPIRO · 02-16-2007, 01:43 AM

can they be used without the large spacers? are there smaller spacers in the kit, that make the balljoint closer to stock dimensions?.., i want to run stock ride height or higher (rally)

s13gold · 02-16-2007, 02:21 AM

i wish i was a baller....great product though.

No there are only those spacers. I am not sure how it would affect roll center going the other way. You could probably get something machined for cheap its just that something needs to be there in order to sit right with the spherical bearing. See how the spacer tapers to the spherical mount. Rears will be out soon might be okay if you run fronts and rear then you can adjust roll center the same front and back.

brainfood · 02-26-2007, 01:04 PM

This price will be gone after the 1st. Get them now, wont see them this low again.

brainfood · 02-27-2007, 08:10 PM

Waiting till sat. to pick up stock so I will fill all orders recieved before sat. at this price. Last chance, no limit will sell as many orders as I recieve before then. Rears will be available soon if anyone is interested also let me know, there probably wont be a group buy but send me a message and I will give you a good introductory price.
