I rebuilt mine myself, and added ER monoballs "while in there"...


rennbay has basic rebuild kits, track kits, and geometry correcting kits (for street and track)...

Shoot em an e-mail, or check out the site.. http://www.rennbay.com/

Just ordered a set from Tim at SFR. 1 inch longer pins and adding bump steer kit to correct geometry for lowering the car.

Guess I should've added that I do have a budget and paying $1500 for a set of arms is unfortunately not in the budget! So that knocks out Charlie arms, the Racer's Edge arms, etc...

How much are the VT951 arms?

Not sure, but I saw the SFR ones were less than the norm. PM VT951 and ask him.

wow it looks like those last arms are way out of alignment from factory? Looks like the rear mount should be centered on those two castor block bolts, so now the ball joint is forward some.

I would rebuild them, If they are not worn out at the ball joint. I did mine and it was easy.

My brother in law's control arms are probably the best deal going. He has not worked out a distributor yet (but is talking with a couple of well known 944 parts sellers and rennlist sponsors now). So, now would be a great time to buy them before the price gets bumped up. There is some info here: http://forum.44cup.com/viewtopic.php?f=13&t=28. PM me for his contact info if you're interested.
