Would people here be interested in aftermarket control arms for the $500-$900 range?

That is the general idea I am going after, but with a little more bracing and a couple different features.
Got the engineer on board, have a place for stress relieving, now I just need to figure out the legal ramifications to manufacturing components like these.......
Regardless of all these things - I am going to make a couple pairs for myself, I will be sure to post pictures as I fab them up for your entertainment!

Hey Dan,
While you're looking at things to build why not design and build a good solid, blingy dead pedal for our cars? I'd be up for two of those. Someone was selling doorsill plates with Porsche enamel crests on them and I think that would be pretty neat as one idea but whether blinged to that degree or not if you build dead pedals to the quality of everything else you build I want two.
TIA

i think the basic type blasik arm is the way the welded parts should cost less than 100$ for the pair then plus the ball joint and rose joints . I would not bother making them stonger than this i had a big moment and busted a contral arm up a kerb everyone said that the chassie rail will be bend and the wheel and all this other crap luckily it was all fine how ever if the arm were twice as strong my car would have been finished . also loose the sway bar mount i run a standard sway bar rose jointed up to the sping perch my engineer friend calculated it is as effective as a 32mm one on the controlarms .
