Agreed. At first I thought I could just put something together rather quick and safe but due to posts and interactions here on the board ( thanks Volkdent) I came to realize it is going to be a rather long hard road. I plan the stress test the heck out of my designs both on and off the car to ensure reliabilty. I would rather over build a little safety into the control arms than save a littel weight and have a disaster. As for race safe control arm members I leave it up to the racers to decide if an item can be used safley on their cars. ( insert race disclamer here)

I plan to use the prototypes I build as a base design to have a more refined version derived from. I am looking into companies that take items and redesign them for optimum preformance and ease of creation. That way the control arms are safe and well designed for safety.

PS. Volkdent I would like to kick a few ideas around with you later.
