I completely redid my 2007 ZX3 suspension along with the SVT brake kit. I used the tubular front control arms. Everything was dialed in properly and properly torqued. I had a very good front-end guy go over everything and align the front and rear using Leo's recommended settings.

Pulling out of a parking lot making a left-hand turn and accelerating to about 35mph...bang...no steering or brakes or power. The right control arm had dropped out of the new SVT knuckle and snapped my axle in two and tore up things pretty well. I don't trust them now...running 2004 stock arms with poly bushings. I'll sell them for cheap if anyone is interested.
