noltec sell an adjustable upper arm that uses poly bushes. Tuneagent sells a pillow ball type. Ikeya formula is the only adjustable lower arm one i have seen, and there are quite a few tie rod extensions available, also from tuneagent i think.

Have the ikeya formula gear in stock, adjustable lower control arms, upper control arms, everything you'll need champ.

From memory the rod ends are 435ish bucks, the lower control arms 800 and the uppers around 150 too... thats rough, the exact prices are on there :D

If your keen, wouldnt mind organising a group buy on this gear, as im keen to get it all sussed out for mine too, I might shoot off a few emails see if I can work something out.

depending on how much cash you have available. Tie rod ends with the spacers are the most important thing to get to increase steering lock

Some more camber will help, I suggest you go for the some Noltec or Whiteline camber bushes, or the camber arms.

drift wise...

-do you have aftermarket castor rods and running at least 8 degrees positive castor?

-a little bit of toe-out can also help

-aftermarket control arms are an expensive option, this would be one of the last drift-related mods i'd consider.

What driveline & suspension mods do you have already?

do you have a mech diff / welded? hicas lock? castor rods? coilovers? stabiliser bars?

those are some things to look at before getting aftermarket control arms

Hey Merlin.

drift wise...

-do you have aftermarket castor rods and running at least 8 degrees positive castor? Yep

-a little bit of toe-out can also help Havent tried this yet to me it seems like a bandaid solution.

-aftermarket control arms are an expensive option, this would be one of the last drift-related mods i'd consider. To me it seems like i wouldnt be able to take full adv of the increased steering travel with the standard lower control arms

What driveline & suspension mods do you have already?

do you have a mech diff / welded? yes welded hicas lock? yes castor rods? yes coilovers? yes stabiliser bars? yes strut and sway.

those are some things to look at before getting aftermarket control arms

really dont wanna spend over 1000 but i dont know how realistic that is specially if i want to include upper arm to have camber adj.

anyway cheers for your help.

Andrew

btw Do you get out there and drift much keen to see more 32's out there.

    • Can u check this way it works for power supply?
    • These coils draw 10amps that what i read online
    • I appreciate the detailed explanation, think I understand now. I spent the better part of last night reading what I could about shuffle and potential solutions. I had replaced the OEM twin turbo pipe with an alternate Y pipe that is separated further away from the turbo. The current one is from HKS and I had a previous pipe that was separated even further away, both have shuffle. I had heard that a divider can be welded in to the OEM pipe to remove turbulence, and figure that aftermarket pipes that are more separated would achieve the same thing. From what I read, most people with -10 turbos get shuffle due to their size, though it's a bit less common with -5s on a standard RB26. I think Nismoid mentioned somewhere it's because OEM recirculation piping is common in Australia with -5 cars. It seems that the recommendation tends to vary between a few options, which I've ordered in what I think is most feasible for me:  1. Retune the MAP or boost controller to try to eliminate shuffle 2. Install OEM recirculation piping 3. Something called a 'balance pipe' welded onto the exhaust manifolds. I don't know if kits for this are available, seems like pure fabrication work 4. simply go single turbo My current layout is as follows: Garrett 2860 -5s HKS Racing Suction intake MAF delete pipes HKS racing chamber intake piping hard intercooler piping,  ARC intercooler HKS SSQV BOV and pipe Haltech 2500 elite ECU and boost solenoid/controller HPI dump pipes OEM exhaust manifolds HKS VCAM step 1 and supporting head modifications Built 2.6 bottom end All OEM recirculation piping was removed, relevant areas sealed off I'll keep an eye out for any alternative solutions but can get started with this.  Only other question is, does shuffle harm the turbo (or anything else)? It seems like some people say your turbo shafts will explode because of the opposing forces after a while and others say they just live with it and adjust their pedal foot accordingly. 
    • That worked out PERFECTLY! Thank you big time to JJ. He was able to swap me his stock diff. He drove all the way to me as well. Killer! Removal & install was pretty straightforward. The diff itself is HEAVY. So that’s a 2 man job.  Man does the car drive nice now! Couldn’t have worked out any better 👌
