Alignment issues.

[Recian]

So I've isolated my pull. Turns out the front end is shifted.


I attempted to shift the subframe to compromise but it's already shifted as far as it'll go. I'm wondering if anybody has used these adjustable camber arms with success? Theyre 1/3 the price of Z1's

I'm going to do upper arms first and if caster is still wacked out I'm going to get a set of arms from SpecialtyZ since the rubber in mine is rotted pretty bad.

I had something similar to those, they worked fine but the welds started to rust after about 6 months (you get what you pay for), I didnt want to take a chance so i replaced them with these. They dont have welds, and they have been in for 1-1/2 years and they look and work fine. I know everyone tries to save some $$ including myself, but sometimes its better to just buy the proper thing the first time around. While your doing the suspension work you may want to look at your control arm bushings and your tie rod end to save you time.

These will help your camber, will do nothing for your caster. For caster you will need tension rods. Looking at your alignment sheet, if your tension rods are stock, it looks like your bushings are shot. You can get poly inserts, they work fine, but if you get adjustable ones you can really fine tune them to get the angle you want.

That's the plan. Next paycheck I'll get the caster rods from specialtyZ and do it all at once. They are shot. No play but they're dry rotted as hell. If these arms give me rouble I'll get some from Z1 but ATM I couldn't bring myself to pay 350 for em.

nissanfreak12 is right, I did not pay attention to the read-out, I only looked at your link to the camber arm. He is right you need adjustable lower control arms to correct for caster, I got some direct from Meghan Racing's website instead of Ebay.

Plus adjustable tension rods will be wayyyyyy easier to install than getting your old stock tension rod bushings out and then the new ones pressed in. And they are fairly cheap even for a decent set. I'm running Godspeeds (like $70-75 on ebay) on mine, but mine never sees drifting or track use, just daily driving.

Well they run autocross here 2x a year. I'd like to take it to that so I want decent quality but don't need full on race quality. Or i may use my ser b15.. not sure which way to go at this point. The 300 will out handle it.
I looked at j2s website ( company that makes the arms I posted) and they seem to be mid grade just under Megan racing. So i bought a set to try out. They also have a set of torsions + all 3 other sets for rear toe and such for 400. Considered that to do it all and be done

Yeah I mean changing everything out will give you the most amount of tuneability in terms of alignment and stance, etc. It's all about what you're going to use the car for.
