Just curious but how long is this new pricing good for? Was thinking about doing this as a winter project. New pricing is very attractive. Also what are your typical turn around times?

we have been using these for a long time now on our race cars and shop cars. We have always used really good Teflon Lined Bearings, 6061 T6 aluminum sleeves as well.
we have not had any issues with our monoballs but we stand behind these like all our products for as long as you own the car and don't crash it.
(it happens )
thanks

Compare that to way back when I ran the Pfadt poly kits and had to replace them at least once per season.

Hey Lou, I'm not clear from the description exactly which bushings are included. Put another way, which control arms do I need to ship you. I assume this is all 4 corners, correct? Is it upper and lower control arm bushings or just upper?

I've had the LG Mono ***** on my C6Z track (I mean street ) car for 4 years and not one single issue. I drive the car hard, use curbs to rotate the car and generally beat the hell out of the car. I have not failed one yet.

I figure there must be a ton of bind based on how hard it is to get the stock dog bones rotated up to install the bolts.

Thanks Lou. Is it worth doing just uppers and do you offer that as an option? C7 UCAs are pretty cheap ($86 each) and much easier to swap out than the lowers. I'm thinking about just ordering a new set to have the monoballs installed so I can put the car back to stock when I eventually sell.

As far as the handling help, it is the lowers that take all the load. Accelerating and braking, the majority of the loads are taken by the lower A arm. On the Dyno, we have video of the tire moving forward in the wheel well no less than 2 inches. If you choose to do EITHER upper or Lower then choose Lower.
thanks

Lou, I will vouch for Jeremy being very fast and a helluva driver. If you gave him a great deal on stuff, I'm sure he would make you proud at these events. We just don't want him getting too fast and maybe we could wait until after SEMA Haha

Love the product so far but be warned on tolerance issues when installing. I've spent several weekends trying to get them to fit and I have only a couple arms done and while this may be do to me being a DIY mechinic, there are serious tolerance issues to fit depending on your application. I have a C5Z so YMMV but mine has been a headache. I'm sure, once done, will be phenomenal, but for the time being I've done it in my home garage with "slow" success.
Customer service has been excellent but fit has been below average. Not bad mouthing just giving real world experience for the novice/pro that installation has been terrible.

This is the reason why we require you send your arms to us for our Monoball kit. We machine the housings to fit the control arms so all bearings and bushings are installed perfectly. We then confirm fitment with actual cradles at our shop before we send them back. We just finished a full set and sent them to a customer in Tennessee and he said they all went back in his car perfectly. I'm not disparaging either - just know that these parts are really hard to offer with a One Size Fits All approach. Costs a bit more but I think the hours you save over trying to DIY the whole thing is worth it.

No problem. So the ears aren't fitting in the spaces in the cradle? How much are they missing by? What are you doing to make them fit? You can bend those tabs in the cradle with a jacking screw if they're missing a little bit, but I wouldn't go nuts with it. How's the fit on the front and rear uppers?
