Description
WELCOME to the FIBA Motorsport V2 Billet upper control arms (known as FUCA) “FIBA upper control arms”
From Concept to reality… These followed on from the famous and highly regarded tubular V1 versions that many loved in all aspects. Everyone from road to racing, it has you covered!
Many used them and loved how well they changed the chassis and steering; their strength and precise feedback to the driver was like nothing ever before! It was one of the best upgrades on the 2G DSM to do if you were serious about handling and making your chassis come alive once again.
What we learnt from the V1 was then redesigned into a billet version that allowed us to make on-car adjustments for an easier setup while retaining the strong mounting shafts as previously used.
When you install these, the front end of your chassis will become more responsive and precise. You gain better knowledge of the chassis and what it’s doing, giving you higher confidence in the chassis overall.
Features
- ZERO clearance issues; They clear all body work under full compression.
- 100% custom-designed from scratch for everything on this arm.
- Billet aluminum for strength and lightweight (works out at approx. 760 grams just for the arm itself).
- Chromoly 4340 – EN24T shafts/spacers and adjusters for superior strength, and they are super strong as they use this grade in some parts of aircraft landing gears.
- Plating on the EN24T shafts is very high-quality, black coated
- High-quality teflon/kevlar chromoly rod ends for everything made, covered with dust covers, of course. 5/8 LF – RH UNF easily available for future replacements.
- Anodized in a few color options.
- The arms are adjustable ON the chassis. This is done via a double-adjuster shaft with twin locking nuts.
- A 3-piece chromoly race rod end is also available as an upgrade for those wishing to use these. They are also lined with Kevlar/Teflon as the 2-piece and feature the same quality as Aurora and NMB, but not with the costs.
- All hardware, like nuts and bolts, is clear zinc-plated.
- Stock weighs in at 4lbs 5oz.
- Camber adjustment will give you close to neg -3* (it’s actually slightly more, but this is a safe max to list), and you also have just over +1* of pos camber as well.
- Caster comes built into the arms from me, that should give you close to +1.6* of caster, plus you can add more up to just around the +3* mark total. It will vary from car setup and specs.
- The option of anti-dive and roll center adjustment is there if needed, which is 6mm of raised height. You don’t have to use it, but it is there just in case. Each car setup might give slightly different end results from car setups.
Once you install these, you really will wonder why you waited sooo long to get some on. Don’t take my word for it! Ask the forums and they will say the same thing all day, every day.
What you get in the kit
- 2 Billet arms
- 6 Chromoly 4340 mounting shafts
- 4 Chromoly double adjuster shafts
- 6 Chromoly rod ends with dust covers
- All hardware and inserts required for mounting

NOTEs
– Primary adjustments are ALWAYS the inner 2 joints.
– Secondary adjustments are the outer joint if required and must stay IN to the arm as much as possible.
– When installing and all mounted, PLEASE use some vibration-proof blue loctite on the M8 bolts. This is just added security for them.
