[maxnix]

guess illl just cut my control arms and half and make them longer by a 1/8 inch or so what would you suggest anyone?????

.24" Just make sure they won't break or you will be in a world of hurt.

ill figure out how much the wheel needs to come out at the top and add a 1/8 inch or so im a welder/fab i have a tig welder in the garage so i can weld the cast. but im first gonna find out how much new control arm are first just in case i screw up haha if it comes out right you want yours done????? i live in houston

Read the thread form the beginning.

I have tried every RUCA SPL makes.

[timderiksen]

im gonna take a look at it today and take some mesaurments ( im a bad speller) haha so maxnix your thinking 1/4inch

[maxnix]

Yes, check the geometry with the arm loose and a bubble level on the wheel.

If you are not a professional welder with a decade of experience, I would think twice about doing this though. A break could be fatal.

[timderiksen]

oh ive been welding for 5 years i know how to weld and pass bend tests. I do know that on cast you have to preheat the welding area then weld it. then heat treat it. by which means getting the whole weld area glowing red hot then let it cool naturally

[maxnix]

SPL told me the arm was forged.

[timderiksen]

ok forged even better cast is a ***** to weld i figure it will take 1/4 inch to make then straight but im gonna add another 1/8 to it to leave play for the so a total of 3/8 inch should do it

whats your thoughts

how bad is your camber??

mines 1.7 and 1.3 off

[maxnix]

Mines 2 degrees on Eibachs. 1.5 is the limit of OEM.

[timderiksen]

what year is your car cause mines a 98 and the max neg camber is 1.2 the one thats 1.3 wears tires so bad its not even funny you do know the straighter the camber the straigher the toe is. so with neg camber it throws the toe off to which messes up your tires even more

[maxnix]

2000 Toe should be good. Set to 0° thrust angle? Hunter laser alignment?

[timderiksen]

well im prolly gonna do mine this weekend if they come out good do you need yours done??

[maxnix]

Need something. Haven't talked to SPL, yet.

[timderiksen]

well hey my email is [email protected] email me and ill let you know how they come out

[timderiksen]

ok i have extended one control arm. Now i have to take it to ntb to see if i did it right if so im gonna do the other control arm tomorrow. I lengthed the control arm about 5/16 thats just over 1/4 inch ill let yall know my about my alignment tomorrow if i got it right anyone need there rear control arms lengthen to fix rear camber problems?????

since its forged steel i tig welded the whole thing ill take pics tomorrow

[timderiksen]

ok for all yall need upper control arms and the spl dont fit. I lengthened mine 3/8th inch and the camber came out perfect with lots of room to spare. I do know on a 98 the max neg camber is 1.2. i got mine down to 1.3 and thats with the camber adj all the way to the neg side. all they did is just tweak the camber adj to 1.1 and like i said there was plenty of room to spare. if anyone needs this done ill do them for $125 a arm but if i have to do the whole in stall were lookin at $175 a arm thats really not a bad deal since they dont make anything to fit our Q's unless you have coilover or such

if you need this done email me at [email protected] or call/text me at 2812039199
