Default *Rare* New Goodies

So after waiting 3 months, I finally got these in my hands.

Ikeya Formula Control Arms.



pics are from my camera phone since I can't find the cord for my dig camera.

These are only the front and I'm gonna wait for the rears before I put it all on.

I also got myself a rear STB but that's also on the dig camera. Once I find that cord, for sure, I'll post those better pictures.

this isn't of my car but it's a rough example of what the rear STB looks like.

Found them online.

Roughly $575 USD for the fron upper control arms. Cant tell if that's each, or for the pair though.

OTD pricing is higher than that. otd pricing for uppers was 640

Then instead of having him guess just let us know, keep in mind your keeping it a big secret, if your going to post up pics let us know. What have you got to contribute here if your going to show your parts and not give a source or price, you just want us to be jealous? i saw that pic of the rear stb on auctions.yahoo.co.jp were the arms there too? did you go through mark to get them shipped to the US? how much did everything run you?

wow those look really nice! ive never seen them before. Are they steel? Because they look like they will be heavy if they are.

I am jealous!

Here is another rear strut tower bar, hehe. People say they do absolutely nothing... but you will like it once it is in, the rear does feel more solid when going over bumps and ruff terrain.

OH DAMN!! those arms are nice!!

I really want/need some of the Ikeya rear lowers arms. Tanabe was not sure if they will fit my early build date in 91. As far as I know all the rear lower arms were the same 92-00?

I could use some more negative camber in the rear so I may have to go for it.
