Cusco Upper Arms

anyone know how much camber these can give me?

is there a better option without going stupid on price?

also what is the best way to increase lock on a 33 gtst?

[Count Grantleyish]

Hamish,

John (ssxRicho) has a pair in his, from memory it allows up to 4 or 5 degrees camber, better ask him. Other option is whiteline camber kit.

What do you mean by increase the lock? Steering lock?

[Basti]

whiteline camber kits dont give you much adjustment. unless you hace both installed. also, tie ord spacers from gktech for cheap lock, and i guess new tie rods for a little bit more expensive? dunno

[joeyjoejoejuniorshabadoo]

Disregard first question... I spoke to Racepace and its 3.5 deg which is about what I'm after, so that's a goer... But as for lock, I'm still deciding...

[joeyjoejoejuniorshabadoo]

Any feedback on the reliability/durability of tue gtech tie rd spacers?

[siksII]

Hey mate, i just fitted mine a few weeks ago along with the whiteline bushes. The arms give approx 1deg more than you have already and the bushes give 0.5. You can get 3.5 depending on ride height, i got just over 3 with bushes and arms maxed out.

So I already have superpro bushes in there and the car sits at 320mm f and 315mm r

Any idea if I can get to -3 with that setup and the cusco's?

Ill remeasure mine when I get home if you like but from memory im at 355mm at the front.

I run whiteline springs on bilsteins so they are about 1inch lower than stock. Assuming yours is 35mm lower than mine (heaps!) and i get about -3.1-3.2 i would guess that maxxed out your camber should be around -3.5 or more.

How much camber does it have now? you can assume around -1 more degree with the cuscos on max.

Right now the wheels are almost flat

ask billy he just installed camber arms and sits very low

[joeyjoejoejuniorshabadoo]

Will do... I'm guessing he went cusco through streeter aswell

[blags]

Cusco's give ~-2.7 degrees according to their manual, only has 3 setting. My 17x9.5+18 look sunken because its set to ~2.7. Im going to put it on the 0 setting, so its sitting outside of the guards.

[alr33x]

what he said ^

ps. car looks farken sex billy

[joeyjoejoejuniorshabadoo]

Can you post a pic Billy?

[Bangaz Boy]

I'm looking at getting these for my GTR as well, does anyone know a good place (cheap) to get them?

[woolls]

I am running these on my circuit r33. 3.5 neg camber and thats with whiteline off set bush.

[blags]

Gonna put some pics up in Vic wasteland now. If you want a better front on view let me know.

[ARTZ]

I have 17x8 +32 on the front and they look heaps sunken now with the extra camber. Considering spacers.

None of the stock bushes in the front end are offset but the only one you can get it the upper control arm kit which gives an extra - or + 0.5

If you want extra lock for little outlay, get rack spacers (5mm). If you want even more lock, get some Tein/Ikeya Formula rack ends witch have extra thread to accommodate their bigger spacers (7mm). Or go the super Now Spacer. But if you are serious about lock, mod the knuckles.
