Post Blaszak Control Arms

I would appreciate any input/experience.

Are they as good/better compared to Charley Bar Arms ?

Track/race car.

Thanks.

Eugene.

I just got a set. markus is really helpfull and knowledgeable. He sent the arms and core deposit fairly quickly. I would recommend him, no doubt.

HOWEVER, if you are fairly experienced with a hydraulic press, have access to one, I recommend looking into buying JUST the bushings from KLA, OR, getting the SSI ball joints (now that they have em in stock).

I don't remember the exact prices, but I think they are something like this: (for both sides)

KLA Bushings: 60-90$ USD (check the website)
SSI BallJoints: ~200$ USD
Blaszak rebuilt Arms: ~350USD (~250$CDN each)

If you have access to a press, and if only your bushings are broke, replace them. If your BJs are shot, get the SSI kit.

If you can't get access to a press, buy Markus's rebuilds.

Oops, forgot to add: If it's a track only car, and it's lowered with bigger rims, you should consider the Charlie Arms. They are apparently more durable and lighter. They ARE more expensive as well. lastley, since they have no boots, you cannot use them on the road, as they will get dirt in the balljoints and start to ruin them.

Correct me if I'm wrong anyone...

I was considering buying his Control Arm.(not rebuilt stock unit)

I saw it on his website. Looks to be of his design.

Thanks for your info.

Eugene.
