    yer na itl work, i just wasnt sure.

    only problem with the T3 ones (IMO) are that they are almost too strong, i kind of still want my knuckles to be one of the weakest links (in terms of what will bend / brake first).

    I'm having similar issues with my set up. The castor arm bolt hits the power steering arm. I'm also using a lock spacer.

    i've just been living with it up till now,
    but just fitted a new setup... i've had more teeth machined into my quick rack, put a big spacer on there and gone back to manual steering arms, also moved rack forward by removing rack mounts then notching crossmember forward and rewelding the mounts back out, alot of messing around and double measuring, got check you have clearance, and also angle it a little bit back to make sure you get enough grip on the steering shaft
    havent tryed it at the track yet but testing so far seems mint, alot lighter and smoother, next i will redo arms for less acker angle and inbetween p/s and non length, but not enough hours in the day...

    90mm is abit crazy imo, more of a option for a p/s rack.... you have stuff all control when your ball joing is that close to the lower arm, try doing a tight 180 with abit of speed and you'll probally get steering lock out

    (on 115 setting) when you drop your car onto the ground move it to full lock and then go and grab the inside wheel and try and twist it for more lock and it will probally move because it can flap around at this point because the arms are straight


    btw you need some twist/angle in the arms or they will bind and wear out ball joints fairly quickly

    Those garage clear arms look like rubbish - the 3up arms are a neat job but still have been cut and welded - Hibino's items, assuming garage sunrise look super hott, but i could imagine you would pay for them...
    no bias here but the T3 arms are definatly the best for design:cost...
    their safe, ie no dirty cut n weld jobs, all cnc machined and plated.
    beefed up for extra strength
    can do them for:

    Its like 'Supersize me' for modified car parts.

    Looks good, but ultimately fails.
