Rear Upper and Lower control arms

I am looking for a set, new or good used FFR rear lower control arms with spring perches. Particularly black with the F5 logo in them. PM me with a price shipped to 48187, Michigan.

Also looking for a set of new or good used adjustable rear uppers. PM with price shipped to 48187, Michigan.

Thanks!

Hey Matt, you might want to go with a set of Autoweld uppers to eliminate wheel hop on your car. The MK1 was notorious for improper geometry in the rear suspension causing wheel hop. The Autowelds relocate the control arm to correct the bad geometry. They are a bit expensive but cheaper than upgrading to IRS or 3 link. Hope this helps.

Mike

So it looks like the autowelds bolt on and can also be tack welded?

You are correct, I think I just bolted the last set I installed. I didnt have a welder at the time.

How soon do you need these rear control arms? I will be taking a set off my Roadster in December.
