is not the same size as crossfire, In the width or circumference, ., but I'm sure with some electrical tape you can make them fit. jim

P.S. Being Rudy does not Have a crossfire any longer yet still makes great parts for us, I can see why he would just say f*** buy your parts from e bay,and screw up your car.
yes there are other ways and cheaper ways to buy,install, or make parts. so good luck to those that go to a place like e bay to buy any and all parts.
MikeR made the rear camber arm for us, and was in the process of making all the rear links, when he passed away, now Rudy is going one step further, and was making not only the rear all the links,but also the front, I have mine, Rudy made everything for me and I was testing it, so this statement is not for me but for the other members that wanted the Suspension links made the best they could be for our car .jim
What's with the attitude? I have been under the car and have a pretty good understanding the ******* of a suspension system we are dealing with including the use of parts pulled from various generations of vehicles in the past.

As we all know from company websites they are not always going to have a car specific video. They do have a Crossfire specific part, and I assume that has all the correct dimensions...or lets hope they have done the engineering to make certain their product works. If it does, it offers another solution for those seeking to gain a bit of adjustment.

I have nothing against those that have put forth efforts to fabricate custom parts for these cars, in fact they should be thanked for their time and when successful held up as the go to solution provider once all testing is completed and bugs worked out. As with any car related parts there are good and bad, cheap and expensive, however that does not at all suggest that where a person purchases their parts, directly correlates to the quality of the items purchased. In reality, channels of distribution are no longer as well defined as they once were. Parts move form suppliers to retailers, retailers to online channels, not to mention direct ship and affiliate relationships. Together they serve to move products from the warehouse to the end user, sometimes this means the supplier is attempting to move old stock through low cost deals, or they have a secondary production relationship that feeds specific target audiences or re-boxers. That is not to say the global reach of the web does not serve up low cost subpar spec goods, in fact it is more common if one does not know what to look for. However just because a brand is sold only online, or ships from overseas does not mean that is not a good part. Remember for a long time the brands of the U.S. were seen as much lower quality by those in the parts of the world too. As with anything it is buyer beware.
