Baller racecar tubular heim-jointed suspension
6 Attachment(s)
Can't believe I'm doing this but if there is a serious buyer I am selling my tubular suspension! Included are all heim joints, front and rear a-arms, modified rear knuckles, front knuckles, front ball joints!
These will require spacers to be made for the heim joints in the factory subframe! Front upper will need 1/2-20 nuts welded onto the factory subframe! These are not direct bolt in a-arms. These are for you crazy racecar guys. I have lots of money into these and will let everything go for $2500 obo will sell for less minus heims! Serious offers only, don't waste my time! Will trade for leightweight doors,trunk (carbon) or some 15x10 wheels! https://www.miataturbo.net/attachmen...ine=1403623250 https://www.miataturbo.net/attachmen...ine=1403623250 https://www.miataturbo.net/attachmen...ine=1403623250 |
Can even include my modified rear subframe!

Looks pretty! But I thought heim joints in bending was bad?

To add to this, rod ends are rated for side load. I imagine that 1/2" rod ends are rated 5 times higher than any load that they'll see in this application.

I was really hoping I could have been the first one to make miata rear lower control arms with the toe link like that. *Edit, didnt realize we were shitting up a for sale thread. To make you feel better, the control arms I priced out are like $1500 in just material, $1200 of that being just the bearings, their bearing cups, and the spacers. |

Depends on the brand. I was considering going up to 5/8" sphericals on the FLCAs because the Aurora ComC 1/2" ones only had like a factor of safety just over 2 and I didnt want to have to keep replacing them once a season. Then I discovered the NHBB ones. Either way, rod ends in bending is bad juju, and most of them are in those arms. And its just lazy design, I know a guy who makes spherical kits for hondas and such that will cut custom weld in bearing cups for about the price difference between sphericals and rod ends, so it aint for the cost savings and he's not exactly the cheapest guy to work with.

Bump for $2000 minus heims!
|
The arms look very similar to what most off road race cars and trucks use, which take much more abuse than a street car will ever see. What material are they made from?

May I ask: Why are you selling?

Bumping this because I need these gone!
Whats included: Rear upper and lower control arms Front upper and lower control arms Front lower ball joint, front upper ball joint Front and Rear Spindles with hubs and extended wheel studs. You will need to source your own heim joints! Looking for $1500 shipped. This is a steal for these arms at that price. Any serious racer/autocrosser, anyone building a SCCA EP car. |
This suspension never saw track time, is that correct?

Yeah, that's kind of what I thought. Not really willing to drop that kind of cash on unproven parts. Those front LCAs in particular look scary to me.

Multiple SCCA EP National Championships! My arms are new, design is proven and tested! I don't know how the LCA's look scary! https://www.miataturbo.net/attachmen...ine=1422540874 |
Is that bar or tubing? What diameter? If it's tubing, do you know the wall thickness?
It looks scary, because it doesn't look strong enough to hold up to the forces of my slicks on an autocross course. It substantially smaller tubing than v8 roadster and they're on their 6th or 7th design trying to come up with arms that don't fail. Do you know what those weigh? |
