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.

      After market rear camber arm adjustment

      By Duncan · Posted

      Then, shorten them by 1cm, drop the car back down and have a visual look (or even better, use a spirit level across the wheel to see if you have less camber than before. You still want something like 1.5 for road use. Alternatively, if you have adjustable rear ride height (I assume you do if you have extreme camber wear), raise the suspension back to standard height until you can get it all aligned properly. Finally, keep in mind that wear on the inside of the tyre can be for incorrect toe, not just camber

      After market rear camber arm adjustment

      I know I have to get a wheel alignment but until then I just need to bring the rear tyres in a bit they're wearing to the belt on the inside and brand new on the outside edge. I did shorten the arms a bit but got it wrong now after a few klms the Slip and VDC lights come on. I'd just like to get it to a point where I can drive for another week or two before getting an alignment. I've had to pay a lot of other stuff recently so doing it myself is my only option

      By Duncan · Posted

      You just need a wheel alignment after, so just set them to the same as current and drive to the shop. As there are 2 upper links it may also be worth adding adjustable upper front links at the same time; these reduce bump steer when you move the camber (note that setting those correctly takes a lot longer as you have to recheck the camber at each length of the toe arm, through a range of movement, so you could just ignore that unless the handling becomes unpredictable)

      After market rear camber arm adjustment

      By V35Newbie · Posted

      I got adjustable after market rear camber arm to replace the stock one's because got sick of having to buy new rear tyres every few months. Can anyone please let me know what the best adjustment length would be. I don't have the old ones anymore to get measurements. I'm guessing the stock measurement minus a few mm would do it. Please any help on replacing them would be fantastic I've watched the YouTube clips but no-one talks about how long to set the camber arm to.

      Heh. I copied the link to the video direct, instead of the thread I mentioned. But the video is the main value content anyway. Otherwise, yes, in Europe, surely you'd be expected to buy local. Being whichever flavour of Michelin, Continental or Pirelli suits your usage model.
