You can spend the money on these:



They cost half the price of the SPL arms and don't offer any adjustment other then the size of them.

They apparently work, but the megan/ebay ones don't....so "they" say. I don't understand how something like that couldn't work. It makes the bushing taller so it moves the arm down to be more parallel. My arms are currently only off by like a 1/2 inch so those would be a good option. Your arms and Ian's arms are off by like 2 inches. Your cars are too low to function properly, lol, not even SPL's arms would correct that.
See, the spindles are what I could see working. The arm's mounting points need to be changed to be effective I think, the ball joint thing is only a band aide. Might work for the front, but what the front needs is "drop spindles" to work correctly. same with the rear. Whole new billit spindles I think are the way to solve it, you change the shit on that end, instead of moving the inner mounting points on all the arms.

My car would handle like a bag of dicks on the track, but I love how it drives, and for what I do with it, I love how it works.

Thats why drifting is awesome. hahahahaahah.

I cant see the control arms making a difference unless the mounting points were changed or it has those extended balljoints.

You can raise and lower the mounting points by adding spacers between the two pieces.

I had the extended ball joints on my s13 the "hard race, ebay ones"

They worked fine. The car was decently low for a track car. I'm not sure how the "real" ones work, and the "ebay" don't. They are the same damn thing.

That's exactly what I wondered. I don't see how one would work and the other wouldn't.

Yea, lol, they are just big ball joints.

I might get some when I re-do my front suspension, SPL tie rods and MA spindles will correct the tie rod angle, and these should help the LCA.

Might actually have minimal bump steer.

That would be nice.
