Cannot say that I would be confident to have those 3 3/8" bolts in shear mode AND the small matching clevise ends between me and suspension failure..... especially the small clevis behind the ball joint. I raced in rally for years, and would not feel comfortable with that on the street; it would be a guranteed failure point in rallying. (Seen it before in a Miata that had similar parts....) Perhaps, if you did not ever drive on rough roads or pavement.....

At $500 a pair I am not sure they give much of an advantage over anyone else' a-arms. The amount of pieces in them scares me too.

I've seen the clevises fail on those types of arms before.
