Step 1: Order the arms (so far, this is the only one I've completed).

These are the OBX Trailing Arms. From everything I've read, they have the same build quality as the Cusco ones. But....Cusco costs about 4x as much as these do. (Gruppe-S sells them for $450, mine are like $120 shipped)

Image

They even look the same to me...we'll see just how much difference they end up making for me after all. I mean, I'm mostly replacing them because mine is bent, but even then, they are supposed to help reduce wheel hop under acceleration, and tighten things up even more. Either way, I am excited.

Wait until after winter is open. I can almost guarantee they will be rusty.

I don't doubt it. Apparently the cusco ones did the exact same thing, though.

Well, thus far, they perform well, I would assume. I haven't noticed a huge difference or anything. Didn't get pics of the install, but I can do some afterward ones. I think the color on them has changed a little, though (overspray from the paint job. lol.)...
