GH sigma lca's fit also so do corona xt130 or so ive heard.

I'll let you know bout the rona ones once ive got mine it lol.

[.wolfwood]

corona are direct bolt in NO mods what so ever - 10mm exta track each side and fairly cheap, we sell them with new bushes for $100pr

[djscheppy]

i need these arms like asap

[biggo]

BAH!

Who needs bushes. Just leave it as lose as your mums own box!!!

[Gilly]

what year model corona is that? what neg camber figure do you get when you use corona arms?

[RobertoX]

if the car is fairly low u get about 1.8 degrees neg camber

anyone?

[RobertoX]

early ones xt130

[fullmetal]

Dave, how do the corona arms compare to the sigma arms? With sigma you need ra40 tie rods right, you don't need them with corona? Do they give the same track increase?

[RobertoX]

10mm track each side increase

no u dont need ra40 tie rods

[poh_86]

i bought ra40 control arms the other day

would i need to adjust the tie rod ends or the shaft that connects to the steering rack?

[biggo]

You need longer tie rods apparently for ra40/65 LCA's

[poh_86]

can you confirm that?

repco tie rods ends ra40 - $21 from 29 w00t big savings

Right now no i cant - its raining http://www.ae86drivingclub.com.au/forums/emoticons/sad.gif

Im sure truenosedan or some one whos using them will tho

[biggo]

Oh and Poh - are u goin to use ra40 brakes too? I would love to see someone actually take pics while doin said conversion.

... Okay, some one seriously needs to do a tech artical on the sigma control arm mod coz i get sooooooooo confused....

so far i think i need the arms and RA40 tie rod ends...

i feel like such a n00b, but it's confusing as hell!

[biggo]

Yes Sigma arms WILL require RA40 tie rods however im unsure weather RA40 amrs require longer tie rod.

XT130 corona arms will NOT require longer tie rods. http://www.ae86drivingclub.com.au/forums/emoticons/tongue.gif

Tech article now theres an idea....

thats where you are half correct...

you also need the ra40 adjuster tube...

which might only cost $20 or so, but would take an hour of your time by the time you get to the wrecker etc.....

the ends are only half the deal....


pics of what? it is a lower control arm...

[poh_86]

yeh i figured that too

didnt ask how much that was but obviously more money

[omy]

Are the sigma control arms longer then the corona http://www.ae86drivingclub.com.au/forums/emoticons/huh.gif ?

[poh_86]

yes. dunno exact figures
but fitting them u have to shave off parts of the arm to fit

another idea is rebolting the hole on the sprinter arm further out

or cutting off the arms on both and welding up to give u uber -camber

yeah i was sure u needed longer tie rods....

the ae86 ones only adjust from one side, the ra40 ones adjust from both sides, so u can wind em out more to fit...the ae86 ones may work, but will only be on a few threads...
