T3 Lower Control Arms

I'd like to hear peoples thoughts on Techno Toy Tuning's front lower control arms?

https://technotoytuning.com/mazda/fb...-sa-and-fb-rx7

I am in the process of putting in their coil overs and in addition I am replacing inner and outer tie rods. I noticed my ball joints are getting pretty worn and am going to replace them too.

The T3 ones are cheaper than MazdaTrix sells the stock ones. I don't want them to be overly complicated and the T3 ones have a bunch of adjustments, but when the ball joints go bad you can just replace them rather that the whole unit.

What does anyone think. Do they look good? These are going in my track car.

It is possible to replace the OE ball joints in the arms you have now. Ball joints press in and out.

That said, those are pretty cool. I made my own for less money but buying these would have been the easy button.

I'd go for it. The roll center adjustment is built in, and there's all those other options. For a track car it sounds good.

For a track car these would be fine, you wouldn't want the heim joints on a DD. I just installed
the RB adjustables ( they cost more actually ). They give me adjustable camber and are built
pretty stout and will meet my needs fine.
