While doing the inventory of my kit I came across the rear control arms for the 3-link rear suspension. I didn't think much of it at the time, but later that evening while perusing other build threads I realized my new control arms were totally different from any I have seen on the forum before. The arms are described on the inventory list and on the packaging box as "forged rear lower control arm". They are beautiful items! I searched "forged rear control arms" and didn't get any returns so perhaps these are a brand new item. Forgive me if they have already been reported.

Those are very cool! Factory Five is constantly improving their products and here is a fine example...

Very nice looking but think the adjustable ones are more useful.

Ok who's the first to grind off the parting line and polish them ?

I just ordered a set at the sale last week, I just got them Friday. I like them, I had the mustang donor lowers before, I'll switch them out in a few days. Do I need them? Probably not, I just thought they looked cool.
