I'm pretty sure he ordered the hard race ones.

You are correct, in the middle of doing it now, replacing rear struts at the same time, will take before and after pics of the canber as well, although i will just be guessing how much to wind them out by, looks like probably 20mm longer than the standards would do it but i will do 10mm coz i will be getting it done properly thiss week when i get new rear tyres.

did you get the bush ones or pillow ball?

i think you wind them out to be same length as standard arms then when you go for alignment they adjust to what specs you want it

read this on whiteline site for one of their camber arms so i guess will be same :)

but pics would be great :)))

its ok to adjust them a bit longer than your standard. i did, and got them almost perfect. it was about 15mm i think. it looked like it needed about that much anyway.

it will all get sorted when you get it aligned properly.

here is a pic of the arms with the standard, the shorter one was how long i guessed it should be, i did wind it in a bit tho as it was too hard to get on the arm.

here is the arm installed, almost matches the cusco coil overs!

after install.

and what it does to the tyres.

Next step is to get them adjusted properly when the new tyres go on and then a tune for the 3540 i just put on :D

Do they looks as good in quality as they do in the picture? And do the bearings look decent in quality? Just curious as i was looking at these

The bearings seem ok, bit hard to see them as there covered by rubber, all else looks as good as they do in the pics.

A word of advice, when taking off the bolt off the body i suggest you get the car in the air and the wheel off hit it with some wd40 and go have lunch, come back every 5 minutes and hit it again, i hit the first one 5 minutes prior to trying to undo it, i almost pulled the car off the jack stands trying to undo it, after that every time i had to get up to do something i hit the other side with some wd40, once i went to do it was still hard but no where near as bad as the first side.

Got my hard race camber arms and jjr hicas lock bar, will take some pics on the weekend when installing.

i must say the hard race camber arms looks awesome compared to the jjr, not that the jjr look bad but the hard race look really well made, cant wait to install them.

got JJR rear camber arms- work perfect for a year or so now

JJR front toe arms with pillowball arent that great for everyday use. pillowballs are rooted already after around 7 months. would be good for drift or circuit car where they dont see speed humps and potholes.

    • If there's enough meat in the housing where you want to put the M12 adapter, then do it, but be aware that if/when you f**k that up you'll probably be repairing it before doing anything else. I'd just drill it out and tap ina 1/4" thread. No need for rocket surgery when the next most obvious thing will do. You could throw a 1/4 x 1/8 bush in there and use the same fitting you intended to use.
    • Is the only issue that the oil catch can is getting filled on hard runs? I'd be thinking more about oil control issues rather then the head lifting, especially as you aren't seeing spiking in the coolant pressure.  Do you need restrictors in the head, or better drains from the head? Does the sump need venting to the catch can?
    • Tried to make 1/8npt threads into compressor house of the turbo for my EBC. Threads got fu#ked and ended up with and elongated hole, so I do have good amount and nice threads 90% of the hole but 10% I only had 1-2threads there and rest of it is flush on that side of the hole.. So my idea is to do M12 x 1.25 to AN4 with braided lines instead of 1/8npt to 4mm vacuum silicone hose.  and hopefully get a better thread. M12 is quite big and AN4 is a little bit bigger than 4mm (4.9mm inner diameter braided PTFE hose). but this should work. Thoughts? Otherwise I will weld and adapter onto the turbo.   
    • Looks great, I hope everything is working well after all that time!
