plus if ur gna cut n shut them, may aswell get stock 86 arms n do it, sell ur ps arms for same price they charge u for cutting and rewelding them.
ajps coilovers, corona arms, ajps motor sport tie rod ends, and 15x8 -4 superlights
I'm thinking of running a 25mm spacer on the front so i can use the inner hole on the steering arms without hitting the body. Or i might just get adjustable control arms.
"factory tie rods with extra thread cut into them" why? planning on running big toe-out or something?
to move the rack you need to chop you crossmember up and move the back section forward and then weld it up again
sounds like all you need to do is remove your tierods and messure how much travel your rack can handle (about 6mm a side from memory) less abit to make sure you dont hit the limit then get some 4.5-5mm slip on tie-rod spacers and you should have enough lock
that or go manual rack and get mad lock
can just try to rethread the ajps lock spacers so they fit on a ps rack ?
thought about it but i doubt i'd need it with the set up im going for...
t3 arms, johnnys extra lock tie rods, sigma or xt130 LCA's (undecided), t3 camberplates, AJPS 40mm RCA's, coilies, factory castor rods with extra thread cut into them.
i should be able to get all the lock i need with the shorter "arm setting" on the t3 arms without over extending the rack and bursting seals.
should have all the bits and pieces within a week to get it all together.
will report how it goes then.

sounds good mate. i would test it with the t3 arms before you put in the extra lock tie rod ends just to see how much lock you get. take a couple of comparison shot of each if you can.
what part of the tie rod is extened/different
to increase lock?
in my head all i can see it doing is increasing toe out?
cause if it cant get pulled into the rack then how is that giving you more lock?
ahhhhhhh!
yer im not quite sure to be honest blair.
all i know is a smart bloke like johnny made em and said their for extra lock.
so ill take his word until i figure it out
the big bit on the tie rod has a step machined into it to allow it to travel further into the stearing rack

The other solution to moving-the-rack-forward is to move the tie rod end attachment point further out. Get it done when you're getting the arms shortened and all good.
