damn you're quick :)

I took your advice and replacing my 1 piece poly adj castor rods with hardrace rose jointed ones, didn't want to go pillow ball.

r33 lower front arms with poly bush to get more front camber

and these bushes at the rear as well as repalcing the rear lower arm bushes with polys.

Good stuff. I finally got my solid caster arms back on the car on the weekend. I took it for a 5 minute drive and nearly cried. It was so much nicer on turn in and mid corner grip.

By the way.....rose joints = pillow ball. I'm not sure what you meant in your above post.

i meant mine still has a rubber bush at the front instead of the solid link, it just has the screw in the middle so you can make it shorter than you can with just a poly bush and the eccentric sleeve.

might look at getting the equiv for the rear camber and traction arms if these new bushes in the rear don't give enough adj

Ah, I see. My opinion is that the ability to wind in more caster is less important than the elimination of the squidgy bush. Having said that, I have never had my caster rods in the car without them being adjusted about 10mm shorter than the std rods....so I like and appreciate the extra caster as well.

As for the rear.....if your car is at legal height, you shouldn't need more than the adjustment available from eccentric poly bushes. I only have one set on my car (the inner end of the arms) and my car is just on legal height (proven at the roadworthy inspection 3 weeks ago!!) and my rear camber is just right for daily.

    • How would you even adjust the clutch if the pedal already has the correct free play? The operating cylinder has no adjustment in mounting position or rod length. On pull style clutches there is also no ability to adjust the bearing carrier. Push type I can see how adjusting the carrier height makes it all work.   If this is the twin plate clutch did you verify that your friction disks were oriented correctly? It's not mentioned in the directions at all you just have to notice that one side the friction disks have a part number on the hub fingers and a subtle coning to those fingers. Another thing that I noticed was if you put the friction disks in backwards the pressure plate fingers will not be even and flat when the clutch is installed.
    • yeah, mechanically, it is probably do-able, off the top of my head, there would be the transfer case, which I believe will bolt up to the rear of the RWD transmission, the shorter rear tail shaft. A front drive shaft, front diff, engine upper sump, front drive shafts, front hubs and front AWD struts (they are shaped around the front drive shafts), LCAs (at the very least from the front suspension) oil cooler.  You might want the rear diff from an AWD too, so you can be certain the front and rear diff rations are identical.  Who knows what brackets and mounts you might need.  So a whole doner car might be the best option if you need to maintain RHD. Then actually making it work, that would be a whole different story.
