Battle Version is well known in the drift/track world that's why you haven't heard of them probably. They don't make 'Economy' versions. You can talk to Mike @ OG also about BV and he'll back their products.

Email from Matt:

"Modify the SC/ Supra tie rods. The spindle mod we've done is to shorten the upper mounting point where the FUCA fits.

Those sway's we could produce, we'd have to look into it. The ones he has are 2 piece ones (dont know about the lines, possabily felt?) Our would be 3 piece self libricating, with teflon injected liners.

If you look at quality between us and FIGS (since it seems you've been looking at his parts), is how ours are built. We also use self lubricating 3piece teflon injected rod ends on all our parts for longevity. The ***** are made from 52100 steel, heat treated and are hard chrome ate plated. The races are steel alloy races, heat treated and zinc plated. all our parts are made for the track, street and will stand the test of time. We also either Zinc or Powder coat all our arms. We make them in small batches so quality is checked along the way. Ours are hand welded, and hand assembled, so you know you will get a perfect fit. We don't offer economy parts because we wouldn't put them on our cars. We use them on the street and track, so performance and longevity shouldn't be any issues."

Thanks for confirming. I just looked at their site hoping for an affordable alternative to aftermarket arms/links for our cars, but damn still expensive! And still no RUCAS!

RUCA's will be released in a few weeks. I spoke to them via email and they confirmed this when I was asking about their suspension. It's really not that expensive. Only hard hitter is the LCA and i'm sure the RUCA will be around the same but still.. Quality parts can't complain.
