So there the ongoing issue with the z32 about correcting front camber after lowering. People have issues that the arms need to twist and undo themselves, and if you're low enough foul on the mounting brackets and snap. So why don't people stick with the standard FUCA's and fit adjustable lower control arms to wind out the camber? This is obviously not a new idea, but after market uppers seem to be the standard response to front camber issues despite the issues. There are some manufacturers out there that make combined adjustable lower control arms and front tension rods. This is good because they pivot where the tension rod meets the LCA - anyone who has adjusted tension rods bolted to standard lower control arms should realise that it causes bind in the lower control arm inner bush (essentially pushed sideways by adjusting front caster). They look like this: And when installed look a bit like this: There are a few different manufacturers that I know off of the top of my head - Nagisa Auto would be the best for sure, followed by Powered By Max in the mid range and Megan for the cheap asses. Hard Race might too, I forget. Some of these include extended front ball joints for roll center correction, another negative of lowering. Thoughts? not exactly reinventing the wheel here but keen to discuss. -A
To counter the camber you're going to need to reduce the length of the lca which is going to be very hard to do since I believe they almost all will be designed to stock or near stock length with the intent of being longer. Also from what I've heard all aftermarket lca's have reduced travel compared to stock in the ball joints which easily leads to binding under compression or extension. I guess you could always just cut and shut your lca's to fit but don't know how much of an effect reducing front track would have.
That's interesting about the length issue. Are they designed to induce camber on a realtively high vehicle? That's the other factor, yeah. Reducing the length of the LCA will bring the wheel in.
LCA are made to extend to increase wheel track . use upper camber arms to extend to correct camber .. Ikeya are the best I've seen . .
I'm interested in exploring FLCAs as well this is what I found so far: Nagisa FLCA Ikeya FLCA $800-$900 for FLCA and tension rods is a lot of money. I not sure it's worth the ROI. From what I gather the main benefit is that it will lower the center roll and provide adjustment for track width. Anything else? The economy/knock off stuff: Driftworks FLCA God Speed FLCA
