CFM Front Tubular Control Arms for '00-07 Ford Focus

I'm looking for something that will allow an oval track alignment with a couple degrees negative camber on the right, but a couple degrees positive on the left. I will be using the FRPP Multimatic springs and shocks (lowered about 1.5" from stock I think). Thanks for your help.

Where do you plan on racing? Most tracks wont allow aftermarket parts. I have bent 3 factory right front control arms, i would be to affraid to spend the money. what i did was bent the struts to get more or less camber.
I'm building a prototype. I want to explore the potential of front wheel drive cars at a few "local" tracks like Shakopee, Elko, and then dirt tracks in the area. I'll rent track time if I have to.
How did you bend the control arms? Did you hit stuff or did the track surface cause it?

now maybe im just a stupid tarmac guy but wouldnt a bent strut hinder performace on a dirt track? why not just take a carbide to the strut mount holes in the pockets to alow for camber adjustment?ZX3_HORNET_RACER wrote:I bent the control arms in wrecks. and i bent the struts with a big fricken mall.
