im looking for some 2x3 rear trailing arms but some that dont weigh a ton and will still hold up, also im not much of a fan of the tubular type arms either
ive tried to look on beelines site but it dont seem to work anymore, they used to have some nice looking arms, at least ive got a set that tony built a few year ago and i really like them and would like to have another set, i will try to get some pics of them up tomorrow

here is the pics of a set that i belive tony at beeline made and would like to have at least 1 more set or maybe even 2 sets if possible

its kind of hard to tell by the pics but the front side of the arms are in a wedge or sideways V shape ( > if that makes sense ) with a flat top and flat bottom and looks to be all one piece and the back is welded/boxed in with flat plate, also they are the lightest steel arms i have seen but are supposed to be strong or so ive been told

they are $425 plus $45 shipping.

I haven't weighed the new design yet. I know the old version 2x3's were about the same as stock arms. The new ones are probably close.

We have had a couple bends but it took a serious amount of effort to do so. The surprising one was a buggy in a race that did an end over five or so times and did not bend the arms. Broke the wheels off and one springplate but he said he bolted them onto the new car and they were fine. I saw the video of the crash and assumed we would be building a new set.

The new design has some geometry adjustment and a bigger opening for those wanting to run 934 CV's. A little bit of internal structure so they are probably stronger but I couldn't prove it.

I have a pair of 5x5's mocked up on a new car. I can pull one off and weigh it this week.
