A
little honest talk about TimmySpec products....TimmySpec adjustable
control arm set MIT10CA are made with heat treated chromoly rod ends
with PTFE liners made in the USA, the T6061 anodized bushings are made
in the USA, the T6061 anodized center links are made in Toronto, and
the design-engineering-testing-assembly-packaging-stickers-instructions...are all done right here in the USA.
Track
tested on the most grueling road racing event on the planet, the One
Lap of America race, TimmySpec Racing Products brings you its fully
adjustable rear upper control arms for the 2008-2011 Mitsubishi
Evolution X GSR/MR.
TimmySpec adjustable rear control arms lets you go
way beyond the wimpy stock adjusters that limit the fun to only about
-1.3 ish degrees of negative camber. With the TimmySpec arms -2.0 or
-2.5 or even hella flush crazy rear camber is just a twist of the center
link away. And as we found racing our EvoX in the One Lap of America
race the real "magic" doesn't start to happen until you get to about
-1.9 to -2.0 degrees. As a side benefit TimmySpec arms use heim joints
on each end eliminating the factory rubber isolated joints which flex
like crazy under load and allow for dynamic changes in camber which also
can get some nasty changes in rear toe as well. TimmySpec arms hold
the camber to where you set it and that makes a huge difference in not
only how well your car turns but how predicable it is over different
surfaces...and that can benefit everyone..not just the guys looking for
lots of rear negative camber.
"if I don't have rubber bushings in my arm..isn't it
going to be noisy or ruin the ride quality"....Simply put no. In our
One Lap testing we not only had to push the car around a race track but
we also had to drive it thousands of miles over all sorts of road
conditions... so ride comfort was a big concern for us too. After
1000's of miles of testing we couldn't even tell that the TimmySpec arms
were back there. They are just that quiet and smooth...
"What about the quality?" TimmySpec arms start with
a T6061 aluminum center link that is a full 1.25" thick, gun barrel
drilled to add strength, and black anodized for killer looks
and corrosion resistance. A knurled end and a wrench flat are included
to help with the adjustment and the TimmySpec logo is laser etched to
let everyone know you've got the real deal. We didn't skimp on the rod
ends either. These are whopping 3/4" heat treated chromoly rod ends
with a PTFE liner so they are super strong, quiet, and never need
lubrication. TimmySpec custom machines rod end reducer/spacer bushings
out of the same T6061 aluminum as the center link and black anodizes
them again, for a killer look and corrosion resistance. We designed our
adjustable control arms to use the factory hardware
so installation requires nothing more then a few simple tools and a tape
measure.
