not 100% sure on that one

in the nismo catalogue, it states

Extending the effective length of genuine parts compensates for the negative camber resulting when the vehicle is lowered. this also is effective in reducing wear to the inner side of the tire.

It also says the bushes have to be pressed into the arm, so if the aftermarket bushes can be pressed into the arm i dont see why you cant used them. Also i just install those arms and was able to change my camber to -2.5degress so im guessing you can go less

also the long thing is part of a set called "Circuit Link Set"

To provide optimal camber angle, the transverse link's effective length has been extended (+4mm), and the position of the upper link's third link installation hole has been changed.

-change in camber angle, compared to std vehicle

before installation: -0.50', after installation: -1.50'

the figures above may vary by +-0.45', depending on individual vehicle characteristics

so you have the same arm too? before you change the arm your camber is -0.5 and now its -2.5 am i right?

My camber now is about -1.6 and i want to change it to -0.5 for the front to reduce tire wear. My objective of getting this arm was to reduce the camber from -1.6 to -0.5. Will this arm do it? Or i have to replace the arm bushes by using an aftermarket ones like whitelines or super pro? i have the same problem with the rears too. The rear ca,ber is sitting at -2.68 at the moment!! I went and bought an aftermarket rear upper link to correct that to -1 for the rears.

Im just unsure of the diameter of the super pro's bushes are the same as the nismos bushes. i hope it is. The fact is i know the JIC fron camber arm would not give you a posicitve camber at all it will give you only a negative camber.

just buy an offset bush kit from whiteline or similar. that will give you the camber change you need. :laugh: no point buying the nismo arms only to press out the bushes and buy new ones. but yes you could fit aftermarket bushes to the nismo arms if you wanted to.

yeah the nismo are not adjustable but are shorter than std ones to correct mild lowering jobs.

Nismo arms front and rear will correct alignment issues if the car is lowered (undamaged) to the minimum recommended height... which i am yet to determine :laugh: soon as i do i will post it up.

so this nismo arm should be able to fix the camber problem then. The car is actually stiing on 360mm from the center of the wheel hub to the wheel arch.

normally would these arms be lighter than the std arrms? and stronger?

in the nismo catalogue, it has a photo on the std arms and the nismo arms, showing that the nismo arms are reinforced, so it would make them stronger, if you like i can scan the page for you

iff its not too much trouble micheal for you to scan it please? Where can i get a copy of the nismo catalog? It might be handy for me later on. thanks micheal

wouldn't they be longer to correct too much negative camber from lowering?

it makes more sense that way...

    • I know people cry at the price of the Getrag 12-14k for a conversion now, but it really is a nice mid point. Not going to get change from 10k on a gearset installed.  $30k++ for sequential.   I know you run the risk of a damaged used one and parts are hard to get but as a street car gearbox its really hard to beat. If you enjoy a more traditional manual, its the choice no question.
