flip'n control arms

any of you nissan boys ever flipped your control arms, if so how?

anyone?

Take it off, put it on the other side, upside down.

what is the benefit, i've seen it done on mazda's also?

So you don't have to re-angle the arm. On Mazdas I could see it really limiting lift due to the arm design.

i've got a nissan bagged. why do people do this? how's does it work with spindles? any info

i flipped and swapped sides with mine just so the ball joints wouldnt bind when laid out but I'm not running spindles so with them there probably not needed unless your running twenty's

well since we are on nissans. what about the front stabilizer arms? they run from the lower control arm to a crossmember under the radiator. keep them or loose them? it looks like we should keep them for support.

yes keep them. or get tubular control arms, or do what seth did.

You need the strut rods on the lowers to keep the tire from smashing into the firewall. If you remove it then there is no triangulation to the lower arms.
