Default Lower A-arms Rear Opinions

I am looking for your opinions on rear A-Arms (lower) I am looking for the strongest arms possible. toe in/out is not important to me I just want the maximum strength.

I have the Elcon on order but if you find the turnbuckles pulling out of the arms try using a 39mm (6100/4) one instead of the 32mm stock. I've tried it and it's been holding up even after I put it into one of the stripped arms!!

Speaking of arms, what's better to use the stainless or titanium wishbone pins?? Which will bent less. I know the cost about 4 times the price too!!!

I really love the design of the rear lover Elcon mounts. (Elcon pics loaned from their homepage attached)

I haven't seen any stronger than that, and they are also very simple to adjust.


The KP Designs rear wishbones also look very strong, but I like the Elcon design better.

I have the KP rear arms on my EVO. They have design issues so I can't recommend them. After you sort everything out, they are nice but not as easy to adjust as others.
