Anyone know the difference between the Calmini 2" and 3" control arms for Trackicks?  I'm considering purchasing the 2" kit to get the diff drop brackets and the control arms to use with my OME struts, shocks and springs. I'll probably sell off the leftovers (Calmini shocks, struts and springs, extensions,etc.) I'll add a small spacer to the front spring to get back up to 2.5 inch lift. I want the Calmini arms to correct my steering geometry. (better wheel centering in fenderwell and correct castor.)  I'ts just a pita that they won't sell individual parts, I bet they would sell a sh%*load of 'em.

I wish another company would make a set of control arms similar to calmini's. I think it's really the best part of their lift.
The difference is, the 2" arm has the 2" lift built into it and uses the stock spring, where the 3" doesn't, and uses a longer spring.

I forgot to mention, ARB is sending me a new set of their 540lb front springs (heavy load) to replace the sagging set I'm using now. They're being pretty cool about giving me a set under warrenty and just having me pay shipping and a small pro rate fee, considering I bought them in a kit from Rocky Road. I want to continue using the OME components because the ride quality is pretty damn good. Everything I've read about Calmini's springs and shocks pretty much says their "kinda" stiff. For the 1/2 " difference in lift I'll stick with OME. I really want the control arms and drop brackets though. Damn, they can difficult.

It's about a copy of calmini parts and you can get individual pieces if you like. The quality is not equivallent to calmini though.

the 2" and 3" a-arms are slightly different. Seems the coil mount is in slightly different spot on 2" arms. not sure why though.

  Thanks for the info Chet. I wonder what shipping would cost from Turkey? I bet that would be cheap to New Jersey HAHA! I'm not sure what the Turkish currency is , could that be Euro's? It's weird, but the price for one control arm is less than the bushings if I read correctly!Maybe I can get my buddy stationed in Iraq to get them for me, he's a hellova lot closer!

Appreciate it Vit-A-Jim! The parts don't look bad really.  Too bad there so far away.

  WOW! I just did a conversion to usd from Turkish lira, and that stuff is pretty inexpensive. I sent them an email, if they ship to the US I may go for it.

What was the conversion rate? and please let us know when you hear back from them on shipping and such. Thanks in advance

I just used a conversion site I googled.  It came out to the whole 3" lift kit being about $640 US. If I bought just the stuff I wanted; control arms w/ spring cups,drop brackets, left and right trailing arms, rear upper arm and link, driveshaft spacer, and the bushing set for everything, comes to about $240 US. Even if shipping were $100 it's still a bargain, depending on the quality. I'm defininitly considering it.

I emailed them about 1.5 years ago looking to get exactly the same parts as you and i never got a response.  I only tried once though.  Post up if you hear back though.  I'd be willing to try them out too.

REMEMBER CALMINI STANDS BEHIND THERE PRODUCT.  JUST BECAUSE THERE CHEAPER DOESN'T MAKE IT BETTER.  IF YOU DON'T LIKE THEM DO YOU REALY THINK YOU'LL GET YOUR
MONEY BACK.  DON'T THINK SO

The guy doesn't speak english so he gets a friend to translate the emails so it takes some time. The delays got so frustrating I gave up. He also doesn't do credit card, the money needs to deposited in his account first.

THERE'S AN OLD OLD SAYING  "YOU GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR"  .SOMETHING TO REMEMBER.
WE DON'T WANT TO HERE YOU PISS AND MOAN LATER

I know the saying quite well Ross. I have several Calmini products on my rig now and am quite happy with their quality, other than their "powdercoating." The issue here is CHOICE. When the only game in town refuses to even entertain the requests of MANY new prospective customers, and MANY current customers, they, the customer, have no choice but to look elsewhere. I have no desire to reach out halfway around the world to get a part I need, but I will if it means not wasting money on parts I DON'T need or want. Calmini Should offer us a CHOICE. I DON'T NEED THEIR SPRINGS OR SHOCKS OR STRUTS. I understand their may be other issues that I'm not aware of such as liaibility? that prevent them from selling the components seperately, but I would like to get a straight answer from THEM. Sounds to me like I'm not the only one who would like to buy these parts seperatly. How about it Calmini, Would you like to chime in? And Ross, this is an open forum. if you don't want to hear any pissing and moaning, TUNE OUT.
