As much as I think our esteemed moderator is correct in most things in life...

If I remember correctly...not sure that I do as that was 500 cars ago...but I am pretty sure I am remembering correctly. Jeff's car was the first one delivered with the billet front upper control arm. Later he did indeed come back for more mods--I don't recall what now--but I am about 99.999% sure of that. The reason is we were having a problem at the time getting front upper control arms out of Poland. (Wouldn't you know it, I have 20 of them on the wall right now )

Anyway, I remember talking to Jeff about the control arm and he said, "Hey, looks cool to me; I'll try it." So started our love affair with billet.
