+1 agree with concept of no "default" use of urethane in suspension parts in older vehicles. Outside AMCs I've seen it cause issues on Mopars (upper control arm mounts); too harsh ... Especially on awful Australian roads. Personally I rebuilt both my Javelins with a combination of rubber and urethane. The lower control arm on AMCs looks weak to me so I stuck with rubber ..

Big hats off to Control Freak for spectacular efforts with AMC components .. Especially catering to RHD vehicles!!!!!   How great is that? We would be talking only hundreds (not tens of thousands as in the USA) of potential vehicles here. Their price would be well worth it. If I keep my RHD '69 much longer I'll be seriously thinking of a CF RHD conversion .. Sweet!!!


We're here for you, mate! Our Control Freak Aussie is ready to rock and roll. We are also the only one's with an engineered RHD for our Mopar systems as well.

Yes its usually better to go through an authorised distributor since buying in bulk gets a lower price for the product.   I am thinking about becoming an authorised distributor for Subaru STI parts. Its a HUGE market. I'll probably start with Ralley Armor mudflaps and Cobb accessports(hand held tuners) I saved a LOT on the accessport wich usually sells for 600+ by going through a distributor, and saved $100.

Agreed. Anyone who wants to pay list price should just go to their website and order them direct.  If anyone wants to get them from me they will have the opportunity to save some $$$$ over list price.

I spoke at length with Al today and got prices for nearly all permutations of the front and rear Control freak setups for all AMXs, Javs and Americans and will get the word out to those of you who have requested quotes. Anyone considering using their setup should plan on having 15" wheels as the 11" Wilwood brakes may rub the inside of some of the various 14" wheels used on our cars.

After much deliberation we decided it was not necessary to ground all the Control Freak suspension systems due to being confident that the fire hazard from the car's battery not being an issue!  LOL

Anyone else following the Resto/"restification" of the 70 AMX on Control Freak Suspensions website?   It's awesome! Just saw the latest pic in their log and they detailed Tig welding repro lower rear quarter panels. This car is going to be their 2013 showcar, so A LOT of people are going to see how sweet an AMX can be! This company is really stepping up to the plate for AMC enthusiasts.
