ZZP releases chrome moly control arms!
http://www.zzperformance.com/cobalt_...1153&catid=146
After a redesign for LNF compatability and many months of waiting, we have released our control arms. Quite simply, they are simply the best money can buy.

ZZP has been testing these for years in the Grand Prix market where similar concerns were voiced and have not been silenced. We tested for a year before release, including a car that had been crashed with these being the only front corner part to survive.
We sold around 20 sets in the GP market and to date no one, including our original test vehicles in MI have had to replace the heim joints. None of them squeak or make noise.
We charge a premium price for a premium product. We could build them from mild steel and lower the price but they wouldn't be light. We could paint them instead of powdercoating but they would chip, scratch and rust with some time. We could use rubber instead of poly but the performance would suffer. So we built the best and charge a fair price for it.
If you look at any other applications on summit or jegs and search, you'll see we are priced very fairly for what we're offering.

Most other vehicles are done in very high volume compared to ZZP. To boot, many companies don't offer chrome moly (as seen above from BMR)

I agree as well but we can't even produce them for that. OUr cost on each unit is higher than 300 and that's in production. Development cost is thousands but we invest our profits into new products and testing for this platform. We're building our business and showing support for a platform so the benefits for us hopefully extend past the sales we'll get from items like this.
