Looking at getting some adj camber arms for f+r

Can only find places with Cusco/Tein for my car.

And i have checked Nengun/Greenline/PerfectRun

Where can i see some Ikeya Formula products?

Or do any of our sponsors stock these?

Cheers~

They seem to be good enough for street cars and low/mild track cars....we used the lower control arms for our r33 and ran out of adjustment and also found the balljoint was at the wrong angle, as soon as we went past -3 degrees of camber the balljoint bound up and wouldnt turn....had to modify the suckers so we could get a descent amount of adjustment out of them.

After using their lower control arms and finding how limited they were in adjustment, it makes me wonder just how 'good' their stuff really is, maybe im just more the type who would rather make their own stuff to suit the situation.

Check to see how much adjustability they offer before you buy them. For a street/road car application im sure it would be good enough.

i tend to agree. the ikeya stuff doesn't really blow me away quality wise. the cusco arms i have are much nicer then the ikeya once i have. cusco ones have bigger rose joints, better (3 piece, stainless, thick shell) rose joints and just seem nicer quality. but cusco don't make 32 GTR traction rods so i used ikeya for those. don't get me wrong, i wouldn't say they are crap, but they are not amazing either.

      Unpeeling the Orange

      By MBS206 · Posted

      I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!

      Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.

      The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!

      The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
