Is this an advertisement or tech?

Mike Hagen has been doing this for many years.

For them it is obviously an advert.
I ain't selling them.

For me its the first time I've seen it,
and a technical discussion is a nice thing to have.

Looks to me to be a good thing,
but I am no engineer.

It appears to use the strut tower as an anchor for the top arm to swing from.
Looks to be strong enough, but I have no idea.

I'd be interested once my struts and springs are shagged,
but what I have now is fine.

Not sure why they say only suits their 3"lift kits,
could be a marketing thing.

The three inch lift lower arms alter the track width slightly to correct camber and track width for the lift height, so fitting these arms with a stock lower arm would result in heavy positive camber.

I'm worried about that small, unshielded uniball. I think there's zero chance of getting that engineer approved in Vic, and I'm concerned about its long term durability down near the wheel on a poor environment.

It's also a missed opportunity to make the camber adjustable, or fit rebound stops to prevent pulling cv's apart. Every other ifs design has rebound stops.

It's kind of what I expect from calmini, an ok idea built down to a price, which ends up making it too compromised.
