[Shotimes] CONTROL ARMS (please read) write-up

[Ian Fisher]

You aren't missing anything. This could very well be a case of people
seeing something better and just wanting it. I feel that the GM arms are
perfectly fine; the BMR's are just a bit more heavy duty. It's really
just a matter of choice.

I didn't include the bit about the proportioning plugs because I didn't
know if the TCE arms included them or not. I just looked on Josh's site
and can't find them now. Josh? I already have my own set anyway ;)

Re: GM arms; I believe that the SHOshop was selling the same arms and
calling them their own for some time now.

I guess it's a matter of preference. The GM arms are still decent
pieces.

Ian,

I see your point. I think the OEM GTP ones are pretty nice as well. I
had never seen a real picture of them. Since they are $164 for a set of
4 + $45 for the www.shonutperformance.com kit, I can't see where people
would really want to spend the extra $190 for the TCE pieces.

Am I missing something? For some reason, I thought the OEMGTP ones were
wimpy like the OEM Ford ones but with adjusters.
