Whats the advantages of switching? Handling better? Like to hear some thoughts thanks

wider track width
longer a-arm
lengthens wheelbase for more rear %
have to drop spring rates a good bit.
motion ratio for metric is 25%
motion ratio for nova a-arm is 30%

good start with the list above. Depends on which spindle you use you get faster steering ratio and more steering right to left. Also better camber curve, but depends on length of the upper a-arm and height of the spindle.

myself I liked the pinto spindle on the nova a-arm.
quicker steering
much tougher than metric spindles.

Ok I've seen conflicting measurements but what are the measurements of both arms?

[jasjenh]

what measurements are you looking for. I have some lying around I could measure for you. We like the pinto spindles too. It was a big difference when we switched from metric lowers to nova. One other thing is you get more wheel travel because the nova is shaped like a banana. Only gripe I had when we switched was tie rod clearance, because of the arm on the spindle is higher, but with the new bent tie rods it is a non issue.
