Q & A
Hi Tim - no, they do not come with the rubber boot seals. They are sold separately.
Hi Jerica - Yes, we many NA customers. These are will work with both subfarme and spindle generations. Install is straight forward by and we recommend following the OEM service manual. The Elite model is for duel street and track use and the Pro arms are for track use only.
Hi Travis - the arms are universal side/side. They come with the ball joints installed and can only be inserted into the upright in a single manor.
Hi Alex - At this time, no. The arms use a custom bushing.
Hi Jonah - No, once installed on the car grease is added and the lash is adjusted. There is a grease fitting on top of the ball joint for easy service.

Didn’t work for me. Customer service very professional.
I had issues on fitment with two set of control arms I got from them. Not going to bash them on here but I’d definitely give your parts a look over before install(with any parts of course) I kept some things I could use and sent the rest back (waiting on second refund) anyway, defects happen mistakes happen, and they’ve been making an effort to get me taken care of even though I’ve been more than unprofessional, unpleasant, and downright disrespectful to their customer service team.

Easy Install, Great Performance
These were super easy to install and adjust. The customer service was awesome—quick to respond and really helpful. Adjusting the camber is a breeze, and they look amazing on the car. The handling feels so much better now. Definitely recommend. Just make sure to adjust Heim Joints to match OEM control arm

X-lite front arms
I really wanted to give these 5 stars, the arms are beautifully made and well thought out. However an assembly issue causing the spherical bearing to not be fully seated caused my rating. I had to press the bearing out a rebore the seat to allow the bearing to fully seat in the bore and get the snap ring to fit into its groove.
I really like the ability to adjust the camber with shims at the track. This greatly simplifies chassis tuning. The machining is first class and the anodized finish is a plus.

Excellent quality.
A little tough to install, but well worth the effort.

Great control arms
So I ordered some control arms from rockauto and they did not fit my 93 NA. It kept hitting the coilovers. I decided to just use this opportunity as an excuse to upgrade to these control arms instead. I’ve only used them for a week or two but they’ve been phenomenal. I’m a big fan of the grease fitting so i can just add more grease and hopefully prolong the life of the ball joint. I definitely recommend these control arms.
