Hopefully I'm not stepping on anyone's toes by saying this here...

The FC tubular control arms had a few catestrophic failures. Thus, they had a very bad reputation here & no one else wanted to use them. There's probably a market for a new & improved design, but the old ones will probably sit on the shelves till they rot, or are purchased by newer focus owners unaware of the previous failures.

Again, sorry for stepping on toes here, but I didn't see it mentioned in this thread yet & thought that it was important for any potential customers to at least be able to make an informed decision.
