Default Adjustable Billet Upper A-Arms from GFL...

The Go Fast Lab and TC Design are going to be producing fully adjustable replacement front upper a-arms for the S2000. These will be made out of 7075 aluminum billet. High quality Aurora rod ends (as in our rear anti-bumpsteer kits) will be used. Camber/caster will be adjustable to practically any setting you would want to run.

Pricing is not firm yet, but will be under $1000 US. The neighborhood of $700-$800 per set looks like a reasonable estimate but the final value hasn't been nailed down yet.

I'm looking for expressions of interest to help determine how many sets we will build in the initial run. No commitments necessary at this time but the better idea we get of people truly interested, the easier it will be to start a manufacturing run.

No, I don't have pics yet.

J.P.

I'm predicting at least 2 sets

What colors do they come in? Do you have any pics?

Pardon my ignorance, but what makes these more adjustable for camber than stock a arms?

Stock a-arms are limited to about 2 or maybe 2.5 degrees of negative camber in extreme circumstances. A lot of people have expressed interest in a solution that will give them additional negative camber up front without compromising suspension geometry like certain other "add-on" products do.

I understand that, but is it capable of additional camber because of a different ball joint, or different length? Is it longer than a stock a arm?

That would give all the secrets away.

From what I saw of what was left of Ry's a-arm, it has an adjustable length. I'm pretty sure the original design was discussed here a few months ago.

yes there are threaded heim joints on them that allows you to move the joint in or out. (think of how the endlinks work on your sway bars)

I'm sure we can send you a set that is unpainted so you could get it anodized any color your poser heart desires

I'd seriously consider buying a set!
