What's the reason for the swap of pistons? Stock AUQ 1.8T ones are forged Mahle and are good for ~500bhp...

I am being greedy [emoji13]

Stock bam pistons run 9,0,1, these ones are agu @ 9.5.1 with new rings on honed bores.
Being guided by those who are running / have run some nice hp from k04 turbo's.

Sort of hoping with the new injectors / pro4 mani / flowed head that I can ease off the boost but raise the hp to match torque. Too much at mo to up the turbo size.

Thanks Paul, yep, they are all over ebay USA!!!

one thing I have noticed of concern, is they all claim "LCA's help reduce the amount of camber when lowering your vehicle's suspension" which indicated that these arms are shorter than the ZS/civic ones.

Have you checked them dimensionally?

Would it be asking too much for you to post up a few pics with a measure between bolt holes to find out if they're the same dimensions?

If they are, it could be worth a group buy to get the postage costs right down.

No worries will check it again this weekend but I'm sure they are the same length as I was concerned with losing camber, I want more not less [emoji106]

Will post some pics.

Guess my only concern is will they stand up to the rigours of the British weather / **** poor road surfaces ??

I emailed one of the companies in the US about length, they said they are the same dimensions as std one, so ...
I think they are trying to say the camber deflection will not be so great as the arms have some form of polybush in them, sadly, there is no spherical option, so it would be another retro-fit job!!!

I need to get some expert advise on the strength of the parts, one thing I have noticed is
"Unique only to the Omni-Power product line, our light weight front lower control arms (FLCA’s) are forged with certified T6-2014 aluminum (100% stronger than 6061-T6)"

So, need to find out if T6061 is up to the job...

I did look into what they were made of before buying , the 2000 range is mostly used but the aircraft industry and is stronger than 6000 range but my needs are different to others as I won't be using the car everyday.
