I was able to extract the ball joints and reuse them but the the swaged material had to be machined away rendering the version 1 parts scrap.

Thanks for all of the info!

You really should do us a favor and make those arms for consumption by the public

Its too bad the rear guide rod is the one to replace and not the upper camber arm (as the guide rods are notably more expensive). The upper arms are actually pretty cheap (about $40 a piece) anyways. I may replace them "just because" they would be newer bushings and should provide some (partial) un-sprung weight savings.

Maybe I missed it but do you have an data on the overall weight of these various pieces?
