944Cup

We are doing a group buy with High Strung 44 for their new 944/924/968,951 front control arm, a chromoly steel arm with adjustable end links on the inboard side to allow improved adjustment of camber and caster, plus spherical Teflon coated self lubricating rod ends, OEM 3-bolt Moog ball joints, and sway bar mount bushings.

The spherical joints eliminate binding that occurs on the stock arms, and also reduce the amount of rubber between the chassis and the pavement, making steering and handling more responsive, especially over bumps and undulations.

Here are the pricing details:

$725 for a pair of arms, base price for chromoly tubes,
steel rod ends with Teflon-lined spherical joints, 3-bolt
OEM style ball joints, and all necessary bushings and
spacers to mount to the stock mounting
points. Available for early or late offset, and
primed/painted or bare.

The group buy takes 10% off the listed prices above. The group buy will run from now thru May 15.

If you are interested, email me at cup944@aol.com.

are these going to be available at a later date after the group buy? they look nice

I know some arms, I think on Paragon, ask about "lowered" vehicles to make those "geometrically correct" how does that apply here?

marky522

I was going to ask the same thing, do they offer a set to correct for lowered cars? Is this the set that was made for a lister by his BIL??? Have they been tested??

Have these been raced tested? If so, for how long?

944Cup

On testing, cant speak to details for the manufacturer. We have raced one weekend at VIR Full course on a 944 Cup car and the arms held up well, including contact to right frt during a coming together, and off road excursion to avoid another incident. Second day the car finished on podium. Further testing on same car again this weekend at Summit Point.

Optional Features:
Add $50 for black powder coat or $75 for other colors. .
Add $200 for rebuildable monoball ball joints with adjustable pin height for geometry correction .Special sway bar mounting options can be accommodated for a reasonable fee.

Yes, will be available after grp buy.

Tim,

Are you running stock A-arms?

Tom

Yes, but box welded.

ps. arms can also be ordered with solid caster blocks to eliminate movement with OEM rubber bushings. The caster blocks option would be $125.00.

^ +1000. The solid caster blocks are an absolute necessity with these arms. I just tested these arms at Mid-Ohio this past weekend with my stock (968) caster blocks. The stock blocks have too much play in them to be used with arms that have spherical end links like these. That play results in lots of toe out under hard braking which makes the car feel squirrely.

Do not confuse the term solid caster block with spherical caster block. Spherical caster blocks would be even worse to use with these arms.

Other than that, the arms felt very good and the car turned really really well.

Dave,

Do you have a pic of how the caster blocks are mounted with that setup?

vt951

Dave, I don't want to speak out of turn, but I'll try to answer Tim's question. The racer that used these arms mounted them to a spherical caster block. The fabricator (my bro in law) is sending him some solid bushings to replace the spherical bearings and eliminate the play that I mentioned above. I do have a picture of his setup. I'll ask him if he minds if I post it on here.

EDIT: I got in touch with him, and will post pics after the solid bushings are installed in a few days. No point in showing pics of an incorrect installation and confusing everyone.

vt951

As promised, here's a picture of the rear mount after he replaced the spherical bearing with a solid bushing in the caster block. He won on this setup!

It's really great to see this succeed vt951. I think my shop has disappeared. Glad this worked out for you. Could you post a larger shot of both arms for the folks ordering these? Might generate some more interest.

Thanks, Chad. Yeah I think this is a good product for racers and dedicated track cars. For street cars, it's not the best setup because of the spherical rod ends (need to be watched and replaced more often that most street guys would like). For that reason, we are pretty much marketing solely through 944 Cup at this time. I'm not a rennlist sponsor, so I don't want to push the limits on my rennlist membership by posting literature or advertisements. I wish we could afford to be a rennlist sponsor, but it is way too steep for a single product like this. And, actually, I'm not financially involved with the High Strung 44 "company" anyway, it is solely my brother in law's business. If anyone wants more info, they should either contact Dave at 944Cup (cup944@aol.com), or pm me.

not to hijack the thread, but do you have any info about the High Strung 44 harness bar?

Aftermarket control arms look great btw
