What Anti Roll Bars & Camber Arms Do You Motorsport Guys Use

[wlspn]

Seeming there's some people in here who know a bit about race style suspension, what do people think of the UAS R32 front-upper arms?

Have heard magical things about them & expected them to be the first thing mentioned when I came in here...

they are a great idea. the downside is they are a tough design to make work. that is i'm not sure how much if any play will develop in them. dave loftus has used a set. I haven't used any personally myself yet so I honestly don't know. but the idea is sound.

as for the isc gear being same as other chinese stuff? no comment..... i haven't used it.

the entry level jap stuff is not so expensive these days. (most of) the cusco bits are good quality and very functional and not too expensive.

and what drj81 said about rear bushes. the only reason i didn't go that way is by the time you buy bushes for the inner and outer mounts, have them fitted, fark around adjusting them (as he said outers pretty much impossible on car with wheels on) and then find at your ride height you STILL have too much camber, you could have just bought adjustable arms (like cusco) for similar money that last well and give more adjustment. the only thing to be aware of is they do of course give more NHV vs bushes but it's never really bothered me too much.

makes sense pete...the rest of the kit was nismo.

For budget conscious times I have shortened OEM upper links and fitted good teflon spherical bearings into them.

Cut a circlip groove in the mill at both ends, machine up a spacer for the center that allows the sphericals to move still. Fit the spacer and sphericals then fit the circlips at each end to hold it together. Also needs alloy spacers on the outside.

I modify original mounting brackets by elongating the holes in the mill then welding the right size washer over the elongated hole in the new corrected position.

It's worth mentioning if ever your using sphericals or rose joints use Teflon lined ones. Just about every Jap arm has a cardboard lined spherical/ rose joint.

When you put them under load and they wear the cardboard lining gets pushed out of the joint leaving massive clearance issues.

Hi Guys,

Ollie and I ended up buying some Ikeya gear to start with - Front Upper and Lower arms, Rear Upper arm and Traction Rod. We figured this was a reasonable start and will figure out what we need to add in the not so distant future (Probably the Ikeya rear lower arms, a Cusco HICAS delete [currently just running a bar] and then figure out sway bars/bushes etc).

While we are installing the front upper arms, is it worth modifying the upper mounting brackets to "Nismo Spec" as mentioned by Risking? What are the adjustments that need to be made to do this?

Cheers
