PUSHER Posted July 23, 2006 Share Posted July 23, 2006 Price mainly? Benefits from azc could be weight, although a small amount. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MONGO510 Posted July 25, 2006 Share Posted July 25, 2006 Personally, I think the Arizona Z-car A-arms look flimsy as hell for use on the street. They may be great parts, but intuition tells me they will be trouble. My intuition is seldom very far off. My $.02 John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StreetFighter Posted July 25, 2006 Share Posted July 25, 2006 I'd like to see a pic of both. Unsprung weight is a very very good thing to shed. For a street car... maybe not, but for an auto-X car or a road course car, get them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JMortensen Posted July 25, 2006 Share Posted July 25, 2006 We went through this a couple years ago and the control arm weights were within 1 lb of each other IIRC. The AZC stuff should be more rigid being tubular chromoly vs stamped sheet metal, but weight isn't going to be much of an issue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If there was something wrong with them someome would have found it by now. I think the answer to the question is the one you excluded, adjustability. From what I have read, the AZC stuff makes for a stiff riding machine. And of course there is always the show car factor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
