Hi x_hodhoo
This very interesting stuff. Maybe you should start another thread on this, I'm sure that you will get heaps of comments on this. You would need to be careful with ball joint to wheel clearance issues, the 3 bolt strut is much easier to space the ball joint on. Steve

Really like the ball-joint extender thing! Makes for a much better reaction arm geometry with more then normal lowering.

I haven't been around for a bit ... I must say I like the brown and orange. I also must say I like the GSR in the background of a few pics even more.
Okay, back to the hijack.

Hmmm, very interesting arms. I had started modelling up a set of early tubular arms, on the off-chance I start bending them.

I'm interested in those tubular lower control arms. Do you think they would hold up to high grip, high speed track abuse? Maybe add a triangular gusset over the swaybar bushing area?

Great idea! Like the rose joint in particular!
I will definitely need a spacer between the spindle and reaction arm though, as mentioned earlier. Wouldn't it be an idea to incorporate something like that in the arm at the same time? I mean, we all have lowered our cars and suspension geometry suffers as a result. Possible/good idea or not? |
