Even that will develop slop over time...only thing is there is nothing in there to adjust the slop out other than replacing parts.

I've always said I'd love to see Awesomatix develop a pan car...I'd probably run it

Your right...the Serpent also has a pillow ball upper arm and I believe a slop adjustment in the lower arm as well like the CRC. I ran one on my BMI for awhile and liked it overall but had a couple issues with it. The arms had a lot more slop at the hinge pin...some super thin shims will take care of this though. And the lower mounts are just too long so on cars not made specifically for that front end it is very difficult to get a bumper on it.
