I'm assuming $300 a piece or is it a pair?

I don't have any idea regarding the interest in this product or the quantity of orders that you might anticipate. However, an adjustable lower control arm would provide a much needed alignment capability for our Fieros. Currently, one of the most popular methods of camber adjustment is using a slotted upper control arm balljoint. Moving the balljoint is not a particularly pleasant task. Caster adjustment is a rear PITA as it's somewhat trial and error and requires removal of the upper control arm shot to swap shims. Not fun. A lower control arm with, what I assume would be dual threaded adjustment capability, would allow for both caster and camber adjustments without having to remove any parts and could be done underneath the car. Good luck with your project. I may be interested if you go through with it.

Why an adjustable lower, and why not just buy adjustable uppers that are offered by both Pickardt Performance and West Coast Fiero?

I just installed one of Pickardt Performance's 84-87 front coilover kits with custom lower A-arm and adjustable upper.
