Just a comment about your lower arms, and I'm no engineer so probably to be taken with a pinch of salt
You have thick tubes with good looking welds going from inboard to outboard, but then it ends in what looks like a 10mm stud going into the main chassis and onto the wheel carrier.
Surely this 10mm stud is by far the weak point of your whole setup for the forces transmitted by the wheels to your chassis.
In the original Cerb you have a T shape metal bar bolted to the frame of the car which looks a lot stronger. I agree your setup is better for adjustment but those two areas look really weak compared to the rest of your setup?
