2G-specific Anyone using the RRE aluminum upper control arms?

Is there anyone out there that is using these? http://www.roadraceengineering.com/eclsuspension.htm

They are the fourth item down. I don't recall ever hearing of someone who was using these. Considering they allow for caster adjustment as well as the adjustable ball joints I would think there would be more people using them. The price is pretty good too. Considering the price off 2 oem conrol arms and a camber kit, its not much more. I never noticed these until a couple months ago. I'm not sure if I just never saw they or if they are a newer product and thats why not many have them.

Are you able to gain more positive caster? Do you know what the max caster you can get is?

Like I said, considering the cost of two oem upper control arms and an eccentric camber kit the cost of them isn't much more. And if they give you the ability to gain more positive caster I think they are worth it. Not sure about wiegth, can't imagine it would be much of a difference. Also never heard of anyone having an issue with the strength of the oem control arms so I don't think thats much of an issue.

Well in that case I say 440 is defiantly worth it. That has more adjustability than I had though it would be.
