T3 idler arm

Since moog isn't available any longer. Any thoughts on the offering from T3? https://technotoytuning.com/ultimate-idler-arm-for-the-safb-rx7/

It's a little pricey, and I currently have a moog idler arm (or pretty sure I do). So I doubt it'd be an upgrade for me.

yeah, it's pricey. Probably because it's not as mass produced as Moog's.
But if more than bushings are needed there's not really another option.

No way! Seems like a new product cause this the first I've seen of it. Very tempting to give it a shot and see how the Loosey Goosey Steering feels with it.

Edit: Also seems they've added a few other things like a reinforced idler arm bracket, and rod ends for the Watt's Link. They do have a disclaimer on it saying you should use the Panhard bar if you are using the T3 Upper and lower links. Interesting

They also have newly released tie rods. I'm pretty sure they're to go with a new knuckle they've teased on facebook.

Its just an alternative to OEM design with beefier bushings , not a solid arm like moog's .
