For the love of all that is holy, please no one ever use this style of arm.

2 major issues,
1- The inner and outer bushing MUST be spherical. I have seen broken ears on stock uprights from this style but beyond that these will cause a bunch of stiction as the bolt holes dont necessarily sit parallel and move a lot in angle through suspension travel.
2- Threads in bending are about as awful of a decision on a track car as you can make. They are about 10-15% of the strength of a rod sized at the MINOR thread diameter. And these make it worse with threads being so far outward towards the shock mount.

Looks like the Hardrace control arms have spherical in the outer mount and a better approach on the threaded section.

Racefab also has a good set but they can take a while to get.

SPL typically makes good stuff.
For the momentum parts, this is what kills me. I would never trust this joint. Carrying bending loads through threads, and high load with the entire suspension load going through it is just bad engineering. These things basically aren't engineered, they're just designed and made.
