Hey man what front upper arms are they in the pic. They look like cusco ones. Are they any good (fitment and adjustability), I've had a lot of front camber issues and have a set of Just Jap (Ikeya Formula copies by the looks of them) ones on there at the moment and they've been nothing but problems with hitting the springs (and eveything else) and have had a lot of problems aligning them properly. Am thinking of ditching them for cusco's or ikeya formula's (at least you can get a bushed version with the ikeya's) and what bushes are you using in the uprights (standard or polyurethane types like whiteline ones etc)?

yeah they are cusco items, and i didn't actually get around to installing them - the joys of a slipped disk..

Chuck a post up if/when you get around to fitting the cusco arms. I'm guessing (stupid question) your trying to take out some negative camber? Curious as to how much they can remove, they don't look like it'd be a lot from how they're adjusted but at least the are a one piece arm unlike the ones I got which are in 2 seperate pieces per side which makes adjusting harder plus they hit in various places. I need to take out a good 3 degrees (that was when I just had the whiteline bushes). Going to have another go this weekend at adjusting these more.

had to hammer in the inner lip, on the rears, to stop any scraping from tyre touching guard lip.

got a few paint chips from the hammering / metal folding, so will eventually do a full body touchup

as is now, no scraping, runs awesome thru the twisties with 9.5" wide rims and 240rwkw.

will tighten up the swaybars to max at next weeks tune up.

I got new wheels for my car today :dry: It's the first time I've ever bought brand new wheels so I'm still pretty excited about it..

I wanted them to sit flush with the side of the car, not stick out, not sit inside. I think the fronts could maybe come out a tiny bit, we're going to muck around with some spacers on the weekend but I'm really happy with them.

Now I just need to lower it a bit but I'll have to re-build my bank account first.

Currently have a set of Work Emotion 11r's in 18 x 9.5" +20 all round (+15 on rear with 5mm slip on) with Hankook 235/45's. So far happy but wanting a more aggressive fitment. :) ... Will be putting these up for sale shortly. Ill get a pic up ASAP.

Danny, that's got some attitude, with those rims pushed out a bit further, very nice!

thanks Mike i cant lower the rear anymore until i sort out the clearance between coilover and wheel (they are 10"). Ive got a 5mm spacer on but its just not enough and rubs when i go up big curbs on an angle, but fine when driving around. I will pull abit of camber out of it and that will help, i need a wheel alignment too to check everything is ok.

Im pretty happy with the look now, i got the nismo front and rear bumpers sitting here i could put on too but dont know if it needs em or if they will just create too much unwanted cop attention. I might paint em up and fit and see how they look.

if you've not considered it yet, think about relocating the loom that runs through the drivers side wheel arch or at least make up a metal plate to cover it. running that low will cause your tyre to munch through it over bumps :down: relocating is a big job, so maybe just some kind of metal shield for now

Hey Brad

What power are you running these days? I was advised the other day (by a very respected suspension guy on here) that running the car down around 320mm will loose approx 20bhp thru excessive CV angles. Food for thought.
