Maybe I should start making dies instead, lol. I was just curious, I think that with the correct tools one could make them for alot cheaper than that.

a bender is the right tool! lol





I mean making dies for the bender.

OOOOOOO lol, sorry.

yea, the inital cost of the CNC machine would kill ya, but if you sold enough sets of dies.....it could probably be worth it. But thats only for the people that want custom made dies. standard dies are anyware from 175-400 a set

Okay so back to the original topic. No..I don't know anyone who has used the FBI arms. My friend just finished up an S-10 using all SD stuff. The 5 link sucks w/o lots of mods. The c-arms are VERY well made and weigh as much as my whole Nissan but they look nice.

On another note...lots of folks are very happy with their ART arms and they're cheaper than most all of em. But wait..I don't think they'll lay 26s...damn they're useless then.

Remind me to never have replies emailed to me again.

Now thats funny! Never used any of those companys control arms.

Ive heard alot of horror stories about the SD 5 link also.



another good arm company to look into is from Can-Do Specialties. Steve is a great guy to deal with, and the arms are great also. really good product.

I do just as much government work on them as I do work for work, lol! They don't care if I use it when I don't have anything on it.
