SOLD! Lightly Used Alta Rear Control Arms
Category: Suspension
Price: $150
Private or Vendor Listing: Private Listing
Part fits (you may select multiples): R50, R52, R53, R55, R56, R57
Location (Region): NorthEast
Item Condition: Used
Up for sale is a pair of lightly used Alta Adjustable Rear Control Arms. I bought them a few months ago and installed them when I installed my TCKline coilovers. After a few weeks I discovered that the Alta control arms are not eligible for the STX auto-x class so they got replaced with some H-Sport rear control arms. Should have read the rules better
Anyways there are some chips out of the powdercoating here and there from shipping and use but nothing major. They have less than 3,000 miles on them. Alta lists them for $289 but I know you can find them online cheaper. I'm asking $150 plus shipping and paypal fees. If someone wants to pick them up locally, I'm in the Northern Virginia area.
Link to the control arms on Alta's website here.

They're not STX legal because of multiple reasons, to quote from the SCCA rule book:
"14.8.B Suspension bushings may be replaced with bushings of any materials (except metal) as long as they fit in the original location. Offset bushings may be used. In a replacement bushing the amount of metal relative to the amount of nonmetallic material may not be increased. This does not authorize a change in type of bushing (for example ball and socket replacing a cylindrical bushing)..."
The Alta camber arms have solid metal (problem 1) heim joints (problem 2) which replace the cylindrical rubber bushings that come on the stock control arms.
The H-sport are eligible because they use the same type of cylindrical rubber bushings that the stock control arms do.
To answer your last question, yes, I'm running TC Kline D/A coilovers. Feel free to PM me with any other autocross related questions.
