Helix is proud to announce the next evolution of our rear-adjustable control arms. We have always been proud of our rear control arms--the strongest and lightest on the market--which have proven to be a benchmark design for others to copy. We use the best heim joint spherical bearings available anywhere to produce a better-than-stock suspension piece.
The only reservation that we've had in recommending them for daily driven cars has been that the bearings are made of hardened steel, which is not weather proof. This means that they require regular maintenance. We now offer improved control arms with boot sealed spherical bearings for daily driven cars. No longer must your MINI compromise between strength, weight and long-term weather durability. We also now powder coat the T6061 Aluminum rods with a durable crinkle finish black.
The arms are shipped pre-adjusted to stock geometry settings and assembled with anti-sieze. We encourage you to have your rear alignment set for 1/16" toe out and 1 to 11/2 degrees negative camber if aggressive cornering performance is desired. The control arms are constructed of 6061 heat-treated aluminum for incredible strength and use premium Teflon-lined heim joints for long-lasting durability. With no rubber bushings, there is no mushy "give" under hard cornering. Unsprung weight is 50% lighter than stock!
