Looking for the fabricated metal pieces that weld to the bottom of the lower control arms for extra strength. Any body make and sell them?
Thanks

Andy F(AR engineering) I think makes them and sells them through Mancini. Please correct me if I'm wrong!

Yep, Mancini sells them in the mid-west and www.firmfeel.com sells them for the west coast guys. Firm Feel will weld them on for you as well as add do the K frame stiffening if you want. Just need to send them the parts or pay a core charge.

Can those stiffening plates be welded onto the lower control arm while the arm is still on the car?

I'll be a little while till I can post anything about how good they do. I'm putting the front suspension together and attaching the "K" to the engine. Then everything gets bolted to the car like the factory did it. Also, I'm using tubular upper "A" arms and alum. struts to really firm everything up.
I'll be welding them (the plates) on the lower control arms off the car. So I can't answer the question about welding them on the car.
