Fair enough. Just throwing out the suggestion because it seems like the number of people who have good reports about Savvy these days is approaching negative numbers.

FIFY and it's only going to get worse since they're changing it up.
Only the product availability, shipping and the ruined bumpers. The midarm appears to be unchanged from the original design.
Which doesn't seem to matter much if you can't get the parts to use it.
Business as usual for Savvy. The sad parts are that the redesigns are making things not worth the frustrations of getting the stuff, if you value the original designs.
Just the normal control arms? That joint is just a rubber bushing with the ball in it (not a rubber bushing expert), not the same polyurethane race design
I was about to say the same thing

I am getting all the parts. Its just been a bizarre way of getting them.
I originally received the shipping notification. Received a box of joints and a box with a bunch of loose nuts/bolts, a truss and a follow up email saying "Thanks for your order!"
So I waited a few days then responded and said I am still missing arms, brackets and trusses. Gerald reached out and said arms and brackets are being made, should ship next month. Shortly after, I received another shipping notification. This time I received front brackets and arms and another follow up email saying "Thanks for your order!"
Again, waited a few days and responded saying I received the joints, front truss, front brackets and arms. Still need the rear truss. Then, about 2 weeks later Gerald called and said they dropped the ball on the truss and it would get shipped out next day. Which it did. Tracking shows it'll be here today sometime.
I just looked. The mid-arm is stil JJ's but the short arm versions have a RK joint at one end.
Crafted from solid 7075 aluminum round bar, these control arms are far stronger and more resilient than competitor offerings. The lower control arms feature a 1.25” shank joint for unmatched strength and are equipped with a RockJock “Narrow” Housing Johnny Joint at the axle side, allowing maximum articulation and off-road performance. The frame-side uses the RK Adventure Series Joint, reducing noise, vibration, and harshness (NVH) while enhancing drivability and minimizing maintenance. The front upper control arms incorporate a heavy-duty steel fork at the axle end, utilizing the factory-installed bushing for a seamless fit. Meanwhile, the frame-side also features a RockJock “Narrow” Housing Johnny Joint, ensuring improved flexibility and articulation for the toughest trails. The total max misalignment has been increased from 60 degrees to 75 degrees with these updated assemblies.
It's all about relationships. I thought I read earlier in the Savvy thread that Whoever is running Savvy is somehow connect or close to Rock Krawler. But hey, you have an option to save 30 cents on some products from Savvy!
