Do the new kits come with A800-AM19-4X upper arm holders? Also, are these just for the front of the car or front and rear?

Hello,

Car kits come with AM19-2 actually. AM19-4X will probably later.

AM19-4X can be used front and rear. It have a new design to allow also the useage of "narrow" Toplinks which are close to AM19-2 positions.
The "wide" positions for Toplinks is mostly used in rear only and the "narrow" positions for front suspension.

Please see attached picture. There is mentioned the hole for front suspension.

AM14LS Arms

Where is everyone getting their AM14LS arms from as it seems to be sold out everywhere? The feedback sounds like it makes an improvement in steering with the bell crank steering so I wanted to see if this made any difference for me on black carpet.

when used w/ bell cranks, they appear to take some initial steering out (which is good on tippy black carpet in north america)

Thanks EA, someone beat me to it. Parts seem to be impossible to get lately, might just do order from Awesomatix direct.

A few here have changed to either Xray ball studs and cups or Destiny 4.2mm ball studs and RPM Cups.

I'm going to try some 5x2x1.5 orings instead of the OR152S U-Ring. I've installed the u-rings per Oleg's instructions and have notice the u-rings are so flimsy, they slip off the piston. I notice this as I went to rebuild my dampers.
