    Ahh true, may be half the reason...... but as you still think the camber would be excessive after adjustment Im interested to hear from anyone else using S13 arms....

    Maybe its worth finding some Jzx81 arms then, If I can......... but then again if I use the S13 arms and it ends up like 86sp's camber I will just get the shortened as he did.... not to worried about the legal issues..

    i am actually a little suss on the origin of those LCA's 86sp, they are getting shortened know so its no big deal. just re reading and i have some 7.5's +10mm offset and they were alright guard wise after rolling.

    curious to know the length of the arms before shortening

    60mm longer than standard 86 arms. Cut down 30mm. Another thing to note is that the camber adjustment via the strut to hub bolt holes was cambered a bit so it could be driven a small distance. This could be the reason for the stupid camber. I forgot to include this!
    With the shortened arms, camber at the bolts at max pos. and top plates around 0, I ended up with around 0 camber.
    As it sits im very happy with it all. Only issue is some bump steer..

    ahh slotted top bolt hole on the coilovers, yeah that would've done it.

    it's just one of those thing dude. you change the angle of steering arms and shit you're going to get it.

    just have to deal with it i'm afraid.

    i run 8kg/mm fronts and 7kg/mm rears, no shit most uncomfortable car i've ever owned. cd player is rendered useless i just use the radio now.

    hopefully come track time it'll be worh it, already worth it on Mt Nebo.....
