Default LST RPM Arms UPDATE!!!!

Just got an email bak from rpm and this is what they have to say!

Dear Mr. Wood,
Hold off on those aluminum a-arms! We are working to finish up a set of
super-beefy molded a-arms for the LST as we speak. We are very excited about
them and we just molded our first test samples at the end of last week.
These a-arms will feature a thing or two that no other LST a-arms do (you'll
have to wait and see on that!). We are hoping to release them to our
distributors by the end of the month and they should be widely available by
mid-April. As a matter of fact, I may even place some photos of the new
a-arms on our website as early as later this week.
Take care and thank you for your interest and support of RPM products.
If you have any other questions or comments, please feel free to send us
another e-mail.

If I had to guess, I'd say camber adjustment, and/or more shock mounting locations. Really, that's about all that could be done to plastic arms as far as "suprise features".

Camber adj. would be sweet, I hope they have the sway bar mount to. None of the alum do, do they.

Most aluminum arms have sway bar mounts. The only ones I've seen with camber adjustments are from Hot Racing, I think.

Do you reckon meaty adjustable turnbuckles and ballends would be better than upper arms...?

I just checked their website and found that they have finally posted some pics of them, they have camber adj. but I am not sure about more shock mounting positions though.

$60 for a complete set. They look good, but I hope that the camber link doesn't prove to be a weak point. I've heard of aluminum arms breaking at the camber link, so I could see it happening with these. Either way, I'm sure they're stronger than the stock a-arms.

Well if they do then it will be a free replacement right??

I'm digging that camber adjustment.....if I had just a little neg camber in the fronts maybe my truck would've missed that metal stake and be clear of the workbench that she's on now..... But, she did get a new set of yellow springs and 50 weight oil while I wait for a spindle. hehe!
