Installing Sigma Arms

[chapl]

also if your 86 is low it will be even lower if you put on these arms. so you will have to play with the guards a bit.,...

[Gilly]

how much lower approxiamately?

[chapl]

probly another inch.

and as said befor your castor gain will make it rub to.

get the hammer out. lol

[RobertoX]

honestly, I dont think it will be that much lower. You are right it will be but not a lot at all... I know that mine still looked like a truck afterwards definately not an inch


Its more that the wheels move out more and interfere with the guards wheras with standard ones they just tuck in under it. Then with the extra castor they will interfere with the front part of the guard.

Oh, in regards to camber gain in steering with extra castor, you you must increase the castor in order to even have the same camber gain on steering. This is because the KPI (or steering axis inclination or whatever you wish to call it) is also increased (KPI will give +camber change on outside wheel for steer angle). If you have adjustable camber tops and reduce the camber a bit your camber gain on steering will be slightly more favourable.

yeah it doesnt lower the car at all i think
just pushes the struts out, giving camber and track

although mine are still not installed
stupid fuckin bushes

is there in intermediate arm like one thats longer, but not stupidly overkill? , i think i heard a KE rolla arm would work, not sure which series.. cos i have some RA40 arms, which are only about 5mm longer than 86 ones, and you use everything from the 86, completely 100% bolt in..i have done it to my mates 86 (lets just say a gutter liked his LCA's more than he did, so it ate them) and it gives -2 deg camber on low kings and RA40 arms (thats on a wheel alignment) so something just slightly bigger than ra40 would be nice....

[slide86]

matty the sigma ones i have give -2.7degrees camber.
so not really overkill. yeah it does give abit of track but that is very handy.

wow wish i read this earlier soundlike a worthwhile mod and cheap too

[SRE-86]

i put some sigma arms in my car and the tyre's rub at the front of the guards BIG time, with the rims i have they will not fit at all. The car is very low and at full lock guard basically sits on the tyre....

im thinking of trying 14inch starion rims on my car, has anyone fitted these? More clearance?

i want the arms for the extra track.... but no clearance....

Actually it does lower the car.... not by an inch more like 1 cm.
