Hi Wade. You can find the LVV Suspension standard here: www.lvvta.org.nz/documents/standards/LVVTA_STD_Suspension_Systems.pdfBelow are a few notes, although please keep in mind that your certifier has the final say, as they are able to assess the parts, rather than give a theoretical answer, such as that given here. Number 1: They don't list a material spec for these arms, which will be something your certifier will want to know. Number 2: Again, try and find material spec. This one says chromolly, which is a good start, but what grade? Number 3: These should be ok - pending certifier assessment. Number 4: These would require Design approval, which means you'd be best to include the whole range of products you've listed here through that for a more thorough engineering analysis. You can find the info relating to design approvals here: www.lvvta.org.nz/approvals.html#designNumber 5: These would also require design approval. However, there's mention about 64mm bump steer correction tie rods. If these are tie rod extenders that are not pictured here, then there's a serious flaw with the design. Why would they not put the tie rod position into the correct place when designing the component? (Unless we are reading that wrong). Number 6: These are not suitable for road use. They have been through design approval previously and a number of design flaws have been found with them. I hope that helps, but feel free to ask any questions, either here or via tech@lvvta.org.nz
