I've seen more of these custom brand control arms being sold on the market. I'm not interested in them personally but plenty of people are.
Are they even legal? Given they are just made up to look right it seems like they could be quite dangerous if not properly tested and engineered like OEM arms, especially on road cars with exposed rose joints getting dirty and worn quickly. Also notice the strange modifications to the tie rod connection on the hub spindle for more steering angle I assume.
People market this stuff for 'off road use only' mostly for drifting but plenty of people drive with this stuff on the street from what I've seen which is a bit of a worry.
