Re: Michigan metal works control arms
Had to look them up. My personal concern would be that they use a jeebus joints instead of traditional ball joints, since im not familiar with that setup I would have to do some research.

Re: Michigan metal works control arms
They have been around for quite a while.
They make arms for stuff no one else makes. They can build flat plate arms, tube arms, with Jeebus joints or stock balljoints. They even custom make spindles. Do some research. Quality stuff here.

Re: Michigan metal works control arms
http://michiganmetalworks.com/ here is the link for them. they look like a good product and i have talked with the owner a couple times nice guy and very helpful. they make a budget set for the dropmember and a higher $$ set that is about same price as Nates arms.

Re: Michigan metal works control arms
The plate arms look heavy. That's the only concern I'd have.

Re: Michigan metal works control arms
I think their "Dodger" upper control arms are slick. That's a great concept for anyone with a Z'd chassis or a raised crossmember, because if you go up more than 2", your steering shaft WILL hit the upper control arm. For what you're getting, the price ($199) is a smokin' deal.

Re: Michigan metal works control arms
I just stumbled onto this post. Does any one have any good or bad updated feedback on these guys yet?? Looking to do a 1.5" or 2" sectioned factory crossmember, coilovers and 2.5" drop drop spindles. How are their drop spindles?
