    R34 race cars actually often change to R33 so they have adjustable radius rods.
    I have three position settings on my car and tried all three, and we found bottom one was best. The anti dive in this case is sort of like if you fall forward your arms are out in front of you rather than raised, so you stop or slow the fall, so you don't break your nose. Yes you are right spring rates do it to and another option. Depends on set up of each car and testing.

    If you don't mind me asking what did the adj lower rear arms cost?
    I'm looking at options for mine, I'd rather buy than make or modify given the importance of these parts :)

    Anyone know of cheaper versions of these (not tooo cheap LOL!)

    not much change from $2000.. for both sets
    depends on Jap exchange rate

    you can get
    SPL rears $899us
    SPL front $699us
    But the rod ends arent as good as the Ikeya formula

    Top camber arm brackets fitted. removed as much of chassis until back of bracket hits bolts .about 15-20mm was achieved which looks to be sufficient.Anymore would require some serious surgery.

    stoptech fronts are on

    plotting out bumpsteer to redrill new position of hicas arm. Rear top camber arm in but still waiting on the male rod end to replace the female one.

    setting up to check toe on travel ..have reduced toe in to just 1mm

    good news is that my current wheels clear the stoptech brakes easily.

    they look ok for the price ..
    just check the size and quality of the rod ends ..

    cheaper ones have a smaller rod end thread size which can snap/bend

    Those upper arm brackets turned out very nicely. You'd be hard pressed picking that up as a modification. Good work.

    Re-custom gt28rs turbos 3" intakes

    Whats custom about your turbo's, is it just the larger intakes? Also (I might of missed it) - will you have twin intakes and AFM's?
