I got both and the Vert supplement to the FSM...

Just have to trace down all the random wires and see where they go. The harness is hacked to shit so FSM will not help much.

Didn't do much of anything to the cars on Sunday (aside from giving up on the bushings for now). Spent a few hours talking on the phone w/my buddy who has some really serious problems: https://www.tamparacing.com/forums/s...ml#post5837479

Thumbs up

Got a reply back from SPL, they are sending me the new Version 3 control arms as replacement for the ones that broke. They are also sending me the new locking type rod ends to put into my toe arms for free. They have been super cool to deal with and are very professional.

SPL gets a huge thumbs up as always.

While I had the suspension apart the other day, I came up with a way to do my own alignments from now on, so I dont have to keep shelling out 100$ every time I change something around. Should be pretty sweet once I make everything and get it working.

Good to hear about SPL, glad you're getting some resolution as well.

Oh yea forgot to mention, the possibility that SPL gave as to why they cracked was they didnt use enough lubricant when they bent the steel so it was over stressed causing the tubing to crack in the bend portion of the arm.

I would suggest calling up the local paint supply store and asking them, they know where all the places to rent booths are. Usually is 75-100$ a day. Kinda sucks but its the best place to do the work.
