thanks Ziggy, I've actually had a contact from someone on the board who is going to help me out (I lover DSMers). I would have ordered material through my employer, but our discount doesn't really start to add up until you start ordering lengths of bar stock rather than 3ft at a time. Still half the cost of metal supermarkets though. A length of 2x2 7075 T651 is a pretty big financial commitment! The real waste in the project though is shipping. Splitting shipping costs for all of the hardware (and delivery for aluminum) makes a big difference.

I want to keep this local until I have some testing completed. That way if I want to tweak something here or there it's no biggy. After that CA DSM might be the only supplier of complete aluminum control arms for 2G's. Take that Tuners!

Stay tunned I'll update more as this comes together.
