I know these cars are never really done, and I missed spending money so I decided to do a small upgrade during my pre-season prep. I ditched the stock lower control arms that came with my 3-link and replaced them with the Breeze rod-end units. Took the car for a quick spin and the ride feels much more planted both in turns and on the crappy early spring Boston roads. Love the new ride.
Simple install and Mark was great to deal with as usual. I would definitely add these to a "necessary" upgrade list for the 3-link builders out there.
Now I have to plan my next upgrades...

There always seems to be a list of things that you would like to do, I’m sure it will be a few more years before I stop working on mine and having extra money to spend never hurts

Unfortunately I didn't get any pictures of them on the car, but here are the arms before installation. I'll get some more this weekend.

Nice work Chris! Can't wait to hear and see it running around the neighborhood. Think you might want to come by over the weekend so the boys can see it in real life?

I installed a set of these during new build. Cant compare to the cast aluminum F5 pieeces, but the Breeze units are really built well, look great and were even pre-set exactly to the original dimensions. I really like that when I'm ready, I can tweak them later on.
