one more thing.
when they say +2 does that mean 2 inches on each side or 2 inches altogether?
and +2 +1 the plus 1 part that is foward 1 inch right, what does that do give you more wheelbase length?"

thanks

Yes it is +2" width on each side (+4" altogether)

Yes the +1" is just adding one more inch to your wheelbase length.

Sorry, I can't say anything about the alba arms, don't have them!

Blue leader. Alba has been very good to me about getting back to me on emails. Shoot them a line and I'm sure they'll be glad to help. Shoot it today, probably get a response tomorrow.

I think it is the adjustability of them. One set I have seen in a picture has ball joints on the frame side of them.

Ok, I see...
The Competition arms have heim joints conecting to the pivot tubes on the uppers for camber and castor adjustment. The are also milled steel. Do you have to pull the pivot tube to adjust the heim joints???

The Pro-Comps do not have heims on the uppers and are chromeoly.

From Alba site regarding Pro-comps...



<< The optimum castor is already built in to the A-Arm eliminating expensive Heim joints. The camber can be adjusted while on your Raptor by loosening or tightening the jamb nuts. No need to remove, adjust and reassemble as with other A-Arms. >>
