Group Buy AtomicRex Adjustable Rear Arms

As part of our continuing desire to build the ultimate race car, we have designed and manufactured our own rear suspension arms (lower arm, trailing and toe links)

The lower suspension billet arms are made in 5 pieces:
Inner arm
Centre piece
Outer arm
2 lock nuts.

The centre piece uses both a left and a right handed thread, so once the lock nuts are slackened (using the supplied spanners), adjustment is made by simply winding the centre piece in or out. This not only gives you the facility to change geometry settings very quickly but also an infinite number and accurate set of adjustments.

The lower arm has 3 spherical bearings, with retaining clips, and is attached in the standard manner. As the OE arm is attached into the subframe using a camber bolt, we have manufactured a set of laser cut plates which slot into the original camber position and centralise the hole. Each bearing has a set of individually machined spacers to compensate for the standard bush.

The billet trailing arm is attached through the middle spherical bearing and a rose joint into the chassis with individually machined spacers. This is once again fully ajustable.

The toe link is a simple yet effective arm that has a left and right handed rose joint either end. These come complete with individually machined spacers and lock nuts.

The kits are either anodised or powder coated to give a durable and long lasting finish so as to prevent any corrosion.

We are looking to supply the kits in one of three forms:
1. Complete with a motorsport grade bearing. £960
2. Complete with a fast road grade bearing. £850
3. Without any bearings. £350

I can offer 10% discount on a collective of 5 orders.

Let me know your thoughts.

Nice work. Would this eliminate the stock pillow ball bearings that cause the rear clunking?

It will elimate everything Mazda for the lower arm, trailing arm and toe link. It will still retain the upper arm with along with its pillow ball bearing. But eliminating 2 is certainly worth a start

And thank you Howard for your compliment The same goes for everyone else......but I feel as though winning over Howard is like winning over Simon Cowell

Woohoo....the pics are back

They are using spherical bearings.....I would sooner sell them as a complete kit, as I have had everything made up that way. And the majority of the cost is actually the bearings used for the trailing arm and toe links. You would only look to save approx £250 on the full kit price.

How much tyre can fit with this ? Have you tried a 18X11 +45 rim ? What rim sizes have been tried so far ? Truly great looking work AtomicRex.

We are running a 18 x 12J with a 13mm offset, and these fit.

Basically if your wheels fit on a standard car then they will fit with our arms

If I already have the lower trailing arms and toe links, can I just buy that arm with the pillow ball bushing in the middle from you?

Ive had a look at this, and I dont think I can sell just the lower arm as the trailing arm is matched to fit with our arm, and I think the other aftermarket ones might foul them. I will however split the toe links out of the equation if that interests people??

I'd like to know what bearings are included. AKA metric or american, etc... AKA if AtomicRex was not around can I replace them.

Current pricing?
