Anyway, I'll be swapping out the lower arms with the Schumacher-hardware CF arms with new set of ball nuts.

When it works, it's a vey very stable car and easy to drive.

The ball nuts break because the screws are to short especially if you run a shim underneath to adjust the roll centers. The stock screws in stock configuration are a bit short with the aluminum chassis.
