    Guys after much waiting and messing around and exhausting options etc, the UAS pivoting front camber arms are ready for Group Buy. The final version will be the same as used on the UAS race car, and are made from scratch by Fulcrum Suspension, the biggest suspension shop in Australia.

    Why A Pivoting Front Arm?
    • All aftermarket and factory front camber arms (including noltec, midori, powertrix, SPL, you name it...) wear prematurely as they do not pivot or swivel in the centre. The many members have experienced broken camber arms can attest to this.
    • By design, the front camber arm is required to pivot as it travels through its arc as shown in the video on this page (scroll to image 26 or thereabouts) http://www.uniqueautosports.com/racecarpage5.htm
    • Without this pivoting centre, the centre of the arm is subjected to torsional load that leads to breakage

    The pic below shows the angle that the arm is required to pivot on

    About the UAS Arms

    These have been in the works for roughly three years, including many revisions and hard laps on the UAS slot car. Features include

    • They have a brass sleave internal which is pinned and an o-ring to seal them, with camber adjustable length of 15mm
    • These don't bind unlike all the others and therefore they don't wear bushes or bearings or bend the arm
    • A car fitted with these arms handles and steers better, as no load is transferred to arm as it travels through its ark. Other arms do not allow the arm to travel like this.
    • M30 thread internal and chrome shaft and brass shim where it moves.

    So here we go, your chance to buy the only front camber arms of this design anywhere in the world.

    Price: RRP on these will be $495/pair, group buy price for twenty buyers is $395/pair.
    Timeframe: Once I have the 20 orders, we will be looking at eight weeks for production. The commitment from UAS requried to get them at this price is huge, so we need confirmed orders with money on the table!
    How to Order: I will need a 50% deposit to confirm your order, please PM for details/
    Terms: As with all Group Buys, your deposit is your commitment to buy. It is non refundable once we go into production. Balance will be payable within two weeks of advising that the order is ready to send, failure to complete your purchase will result in your deposit being lost and your order being sold.

    So let's get some orders in, I am down for number one pair....

    I am very interested too.
    The thread in the other section has stated that UAS would supply 12 month warranty. Please advise if this is valid for a Z used on track days.

    How come Rob always gets to go first in his group buys ? sounds really dodgy to me:mad:, I bet he isn't always the first to do a direct deposit into his own account :biggrin:
