i'm not 100% sure on this but a cam is a cam...any cam gear should work....email HKS or whoever and they should be able to tell you if there cam gear is a univeral...but i would think that any cam gear would work. let us know what you find out ok

cam gears differ from vehicle to vehicle. Since there are different aftermarket cams for each of the cars you mentioned, I would guess that they are different cams. You can get some JUN adjustable cam gears at raretrick.com for 231 dollars a set.I have also heard of people having their stock ones modified with allen bolts to be adjustable.

HKS has a set of cam gears that we, Enjuku Racing, can special order you. this is what I am doing for my CA and am awaiting on HKS on the different designs that they offer before I send them my order. We are checking up on the pricing too. i will let you all now as soon as we find out.

get the old HKS if you can, the new gears are pretty but cheesy. They only have three locking bolts instead of five and the timing marks are silkscreened on instead of stamped. Trust, Jun, and Tomei are the shizzy.

YEA, I am either very dissappointd or highly impressed by the pricing by Raretrick... JUN lists their cams at $140 each and that is without shipping to the US. AND raretrick has them for $231??? Thats one heck of a deal, UNLES the pricing is per camgear.

hey drumma022 whats up with HKS, no word, why done you (enjunku) order a few pairs from TOMEI/JUN/TRUST and see if you can get a lil group buy going on and get a good deal on the sprockets?

if not i am going to get them through TakaKaira and have then EMS them priority air. *ouch*
