    Main issue with 90mm steering arm spacing is that all the matching steering arms are longer than stock ADM AE86 arms, let alone AE86 power steering arms. LCA isn't an issue as balljoints are the same across most Corollas, Coronas and Celicas from the era.

    Though if anyone has any short options for 90mm spacing arms I'm all ears.

    well. i might get flamed......but i have ae86 power steering arms and RCA on the bottom of my st141 struts.

    i 'modified' them with a die grinder to make them fit. its actually not as bad as it sounds. but i wouldn't recommend to others as its not the best.

    i have ae86 shock inserts too, they fit ok.

    i have xt130 LCA for the track and camber and cusco camber tops also......

    it all fits up fine, but i havent driven on it yet

    Do you know the different between Rt142 PS arms and normal arms ?

    My rt has the shittiest lock i have experianced and im wondering if a manual rack would be better ?

    This could possibly be because your RT142 has power steering.

    AE86 P/s arms only benifit an AE86 with a Manual Steering rack / arms from the factory.

    P/s FTL.

    So if i put a manual rack in my rt142 and kept the power steering arms would i get a tiny bit more lock ?

    I'd think so, but i wouldn't be 100%, this is a bit of an educated guess.
