Custom Upper Control Arms

Going to start a thread on my custom upper control arms for my car, grants extreme low applications with ability to adjust a spc camber kit to -6+ degrees without hyperextending the balljoint. Im thinking if enough people show interest Im going to try and get some pressed coating prototypes out to sell!

No like its far from being an actual product, Im just going to post on here about what I did and maybe mock up a prototype and depending on feedback I could start to produce them.

what is "extreme low applications"?
Does it prevent the UCA from hitting the shock tower?

^^ If it prevents the UCA from hitting the shock tower this guy would become rich in no time..

But in reality "Extreme Low Applications" + "Don't hit the Shock Tower" sounds like a child fantasy to me.

It in fact does just that!

At first we were thinking to relocate the whole UCA and then trim down the rest to fit but instead we did some alterations to the UCA that allows for greater travel and so you don't blow out upper balljoints. Mixed with a somewhat stiff SR you wont be hitting the Shock Tower at all! Pictures soon!
