Lower Control Arms/ Balljoints

[TXMazdaSpeeder]

What did you guys use for lca's and ball joints on the race proteges?

sub'n.. good question

I spoke to awr and they said they were never really happy with the ones they made nor would they reccomend them for a street car. I have torn up ball joints and i REALLY hate mazda oem parts so im looking for another option.

AWR used a spherical with a vertical bolt/nut setup IIRC. This required drilling out the ball joint hole in the upright.

I guess it cant hurt by adding to this even though its old. Tri-Point used custom tubular control arms with spherical bearings all around it also allowed them to further adjust camber and caster.

Also, did Tripoint have any upgrades made to the rear lateral links? I'd love to put in some firmer bushings but nothing is available (lots for the BA/BH/BG chassis, nothing for the BJ) (note I know that AWR offers the arms for $400 and there are Megan adjustable options for about $100 a pair).
