yep UAS sell the noltec arms. good prices too. tell johnny you are an SAU member and he may even give a discount I bought mine at UAS.

I don't know what that guy was talking about in the other thread, but from looking at that pic the R32 front ikeya upper arms are not adjustable at all (just like the R32 cusco front upper arms). I have the ikeya catalogue here somewhere, if I can find it I will double check.

so what's the general consensus regarding: eccentric bushes vs. adjustable arms?

in a nutshell;

bush for street?

arms for track?

i previously had castor/camber bushes. i've got some new whiteline eccentric bushes to try, however my mechanic (who's heavily into track work/alignments/suspension/etc); has expressed his dis-taste for the bushes. he mentioned something about changing the pivot points of the car.

would i be better off selling off the bushes and buying some arms?

keep in mind i do have the ikeya alignment kit, so i do want to have a fiddle around. (steep learning curve here)

p.s. - i realize there's quite a large difference in price with: bush vs. arms

noltec, ikeya, cusco seem to be the ones to chase after?

or should i just sit it out with the bushes i have now?

If i had an R33 and could get the alignment i need out of bushes i woudl tend to stick with them...the R32s just seem to eat them up as soon as you get some whacky camber and cator into them and start hammering the car. I went through 3 sets of front bushes...i have now had the Noltec arms in for a while, they need another 6 months and 10,000kms to see if they prove more durable then the bushes...but so far so good.

As for feeling the difference in handling by achieving the same camber by either means? If you can feel the difference then i think you could get a job testing for a major race team

if you can get away using 1 bushes use it. But if you need 2 bushes then start to shop around for an adjustable ams. Costs will be cheaper than getting 2 bushes and also the labor to install the bushes.

Chubb, you could try lowering the front of your car by 1 cm which will give you a little more neg camber. Also I've bent a lower control arm (which is probably what that guy earlier in the thread who said his camber is different on each side and the aligners don't know why has happen to his car) so I can either get a second hand arm from a wreck or I was considering JJR Front Lower Adjustable Arms.

Basically these push the bottom of your wheel out rather than bring the top in like the adjustable top arms that everyone else is talking about.

Now from memory, I think that subtracting 1 degree of camber (ie, going from say, -1.5 to -2.5) takes 1/2 a degree of caster which I don't think is a big deal.

Given that we know the whiteline bushes give roughly 1.5 degrees of adjustment. I am thinking I will try the JJR lower arms, with the upper bushes adjusted all the way out, set to -1.5 then hopefully I wont have to touch the lower arms for track days, just adjust the bushes to all the way in and I should have -3 degrees.

Eug, yes the bushes do change the pivot points, but not when full in or full out. All other times yes. How much difference it makes on the street is debatable though, probably f**k all.
