So I was looking around the net and found these a arms that the guy said says are 99-04 cobra lower a arms and he is only asking $60 + $40 shipping. I know this is a good deal considering they usually go for 300 new now. Here's the pics he put up. Judging by the pics can someone tell me if these are the good ones that improve turning radius and wheel clearance?
Thanks.

It's hard to tell. My stock 94 control arms look pretty much the same.

You would probably have to look at them in person to find out. I'm pretty sure the bushings in the 03-04 cobra a arms are different and you can tell by looking at them but someone else would have to chime in on this.

you are going to have to replace the ball joints, boots, and bushings on those anyways... .. just pointing that out.

as for cobra A arms, i couldnt personally tell the difference between them and my 96GTs....... so, i wouldnt risk $100 on used rusted ones.

If you buy used A Arms i would always always replace the ball joints. Why run the ones that have been used. Who knows what they have been through. Why not replace them while there out and off the car and save yourself time and money later.

I got my used terminator A-arms from a guy for 80 shipped. I got X2 BJs for them and I repainted them. I painted them with Silver wheel paint, like the FD RX-7s. I always liked how they had bare Aluminum Control Arms.

That's not even all the parts. MM BJ aren't in there, the rest of the brake system brackets, Hawk Pads, Steeda BUmpsteer kit, bushings have all been replaced on shit, etc. That is the culmination of 2 years of waiting for parts. Just grabbing stuff on good deals and then I repainted the dampers and A-arms because I was bored, etc.

In terms of price I've only got like 1200 bucks spent on the suspension. In terms of what they are new it's like 2500 or something.

Yeah, when I was adding it up, it looked like 2100 bucks worth of parts in that picture. I may be sending you a PM later today about your other stuff so we don't take this thread too far off base. ;)
