Broken front suspension arm

[viperharry]

Hi guys (& gals)
I've snapped the aluminium A front lower support arm on the suspension of my 1997 GTS following a spirited performance at a track day at Castle Combe. Does anyone know of uprated replacements of will I have to stick with OEM? (I seem to remember reading about this on a thread a few months back but can't find it)
Yours Harry

you could try Archer Racing for non-stock,

they are very pricey buggers, dont expect much change from £900 once fitted

emailing them is best

if you need the standard lower arm i have a brand new one for the drivers side.

Hi Zubair
Its the passenger side lower arm that has snapped rather than the drivers side. Do you happen to know if they are interchangeable?

[Dr-Bob]

I think they may be,,, I seem to remember seeing extra holes for the shock mounts.....

Yet another one brakes.....

Lower arms are interchangeable side to side. You just need to move the suspension mounts.
