Anyone know about "3rd's Productions" billet front control arms or where to purchase them from in Melbourne?

Pretty sure there is a 2nd hand set at OnTrack in East Keilor. PM Juzza or Drafty they will be able to confirm if there still there and for sale.

I run them on my GU. A couple of things I've learned though
1/ Replace the bearings in the knuckle with a normal radius arm bush if it's your daily driver.
2/ Make sure the nylon bush on the chassis mount is trimmed down to size so that knuckle has no movement in the chassis mount.
3/ If you get second hand arms, make sure there is a nylon washer on the chassis mount or the nut sometimes works loose over time.
If you do these things they are absolutely awsome. You wont get too much more flex than normal but it will flex heaps easier and is heaps stronger.
