    yeh I believe you... I just want it as optimal as possible and since I need new balljoints I may as well get the longer ones... but looks like it might be more hassle than its worth.....

    Those balljoints are RCA balljoints, these ones actually change the balljoint height by 15mm as stated in the spec sheet.

    Rough translation

    Roll center adjuster 15mm revision possibly!

    It produces as the competition car private part

    The damper feels softly!

    The downgrade being packed of the damper is felt mainly!

    The roll is large!

    The reaction of the steering wheel is late 1 tempo!

    Isn't the vehicle where this kind of condition is easy to appear increasing spring rate?

    Pitching is easy to come out by the fact that the spring is made hard too much, in addition the actual roll quantity does not change excessively!

    As for the lower arm action angle vis-a-vis the damper becomes important.

    Function of the original damper revives by the fact that the 15mm lower arm is lowered.


    When penetrating/you stand up and the time grip is different

    Ok Im almost ready to begin this conversion... have 95% of the parts I need.....
    now another thing I want to know is ---->
    Can I just use the RA40 tie rods (as these are what were used in the guide that was written on crab 86's hachi) or do I really need the MX83 rack ends and S15 tie rods...?

    whats the pros and cons of each method (if there is any)

    and can some please tell me for certain that the MX83 rack ends and the S15 tie rods are 100% suitable and compatible.....
    As I dont want to buy them and find out they dont fit/work.....
    I was looking at purchasing some aftermarket S15 tie rods that have some spacers with them to help with bumpsteer... but just want to get as much clarity as possible before I go ahead and do this...

    Appreciate all the help so far..

    Cheers

    Niz......

    Dude, just give it a try. There is already shitloads of info on this conversion out there now.

    If things don't fit then you can usually swap them for something that does. Now stop provaricating and go work on your car.
