I just received my lower a-arms and again, I must say, VERY nice machining here. Just a few problems though while installing them.
First, the holes where the C-Hub pins goes through were to small. I had to drill them out by a few mm so that the pin could slide through. Second, the shock bushings on the stock shocks were to big to fit through the lower a-arm mounting positions. I had to sand down the lower bushing on the shocks so that they could slide in and I could mount ther shocks. Now, this isn't a bad thing to me as it only took me like an extra five minutes to install these since I have my tools ready for hangups like this. I am in no way bad mouthing AtomRC's products because they are awesome and you just can't beat the prices they offer. Now I have piece of mind that my a-arms, diff. cups and shock towers are warrantied if anything ever happens.

Thanks for the feedback.
The hole for the c-hub pin should have been perfect. I have encountered a few times the pin itself was bigger at the e-clip end, and needed a brush with some sandpaper and all is good.
And for the shock mounting points: we opted to make the pocket that size for a number reasons:
1. The stock piece is pretty cheesy (they made it to enclose the bolt some for looks not function therefore making it bigger than standard shock ends).
2. The majority of aftermarket shock ends are 6mm.
So from this stand point it was best to make the pocket for 6mm shock ends.
Like it was just said, you only need to remove a slight bit and they will fit.

Last night while looking at the a-arms I kind of figured that seeing as how I had a set of Integy shocks laying around and they fit perfectly.
BTW, U just saw the home page and saw the upgraded shocks towers. I guess I should have waited awhile before I ordered mine.  They look GREAT!

I edited my post this way. Sorry for the extra post.

| !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Well, I haven't run them yet, I actually just mounted the shocks on them yesterday. I can have them off of the truck in a few minutes if you would like. They have absolutely zero runtime on them.
