Cusco Suspension Arms

[Beer Baron]

yeah if only being an obscure parts expert paid well I'd be set!

[Duncan]

fark they even *look* expensive. but the adjustment on the end of the lca shown is perfect. I agree with your concern about the adjusters holding, they aren't an option in our class so I don't have any experience.

what we are now allowed to do is move suspension mounting points by up to 25mm, that is one option to widen track and give increased camber. bit fiddly though, and obviously the result is not adjustable.

[Sydneykid]

Make sure you do the necessary bump steer correction, moving the hub outwards enough to make significant adjustment to the camber really screws up the bump steer.

Well it would be one of those circumstances where you aren't so much moving it outwards as returning it to where it used to be before the top arm was shortened.

In any case the bling LCA's on the previous page are a rather sobering $1000 for the pair.

Apparently Moonface Racing do an odd balljoint/LCA extender arrangement which also migrates the front roll centre. But I don't want to go down that road again. Wasted time/effort on it previously.

Does anyone know what camber I'll get with the Cusco -5mm and -10mm upper arms on an R32 GTR?

[Beer Baron]

it's a bit hard to say as a lot depends on ride height too. you could always be conservative and just get the -5mm or even standard length arms, then adjust camber with some adjustable lower arms. not cheap but probably the best solution.

Hmm, maybe Nismo do something for the lower transverse arm:

Richard did you get the arms on yet?

Um Not so much.

Something in the gearbox/ATTESSA system has gone blah - probably a bearing, so I have it booked in to get it checked after Easter. Thought it best to let it feel some wrath (ok, neglect) in the interim.
