Ktec lower arms

[colesy]

Has anyone bought and used the Ktec aftermarket lower arms for 172?
I want to do a suspension refresh on my cup but don’t want to fit polybushes to the current arms.
I’m just a skeptical of ordering because knowing Ktec they won’t turn up!
Unless anyone knows somewhere else I can buy them?

Cheers

I bought them when I had the Clio, they're just s**t pattern parts, don't bother.

They don't have the increased caster as they should for the sports and the ball joints are of the non sport variety with the M10 bolts not M12.

Fair enough part of me did think that would be the case. Polybushes probably will be the solution then annoyingly.

@Louis may be selling some arms that are already polybushed

Surely there are some replacement rubber options you could purchase to replace the old stuff. Especially if you want to keep the OE caster?
Though I understand the usual course of action is install poly.

I don’t know of anyone just selling replacement standard bushes unfortunately. It’s not the end of the world for me to go poly with it, just more hassle to fit the bushes 😆

I was having a look at spareto (people in Aus buy from there all the time) they have replacement bushes listed from reputable brands.
I didn't check to see if they have the correct dimensions though 😅
