The older ones are much weaker than I had remember. Here are some pic's. Thin wall tube for the axle and not much bushing to hold them tight. These only had 4k or 5k on them. A few times down the track and some autocross on them.
Pay some good money on arms! These will be on ebay soon. I don't plan to use them. or sell them to anyone around here.

svo brown, are these arms better than stock? will they improve traction at all? and how much you want for them i need anything better than what i got.

But wouldn't the springs and struts effect that? they offer a drag spring and a street spring made by eibach (sp). if you get the drag spring, it may not be worth a crap on the street. Either way, mine should be fine b/c its not a DD, atleast i hope.

I like what I have on the svo now for sure. The stock svo lowers were good to me but the spring adjustment was a better fix for the rear. I have eibach springs on my svo also and really like the rear but the front don't work well with the koin's. On the control arms., I would weld on some metal on them before I put them on a car. But they did good. Just the bushings were junk from the start. Nylon would have been a better choice. stiff and hear all the road noise that way.

My comment is not based on drivability as much as it is the strength. Most tubular k-members cannot hold to the abuse of a mostly street driven car
