    Default ae71 - Custom RCA's

    Car - Ae71 with Ke70 flat front 4age smallport

    Suspension - Running Ta63 struts with custom coilovers, sigma control arms, PS arms from TA63, Kmac camber/caster tops.

    Wheels - 13x8 +3 superlites running 5mm slip on spacer

    problem - RCA's: AJPS sell 40mm to suit these struts but they look to be too large to run my 13x8's as the bottem of the ball joint will foul on the inner rim.

    Possible Solutions: Machine the AJPS 40mm RCA's down to 30mm. Has anyone done this before or knows an engineer who would be suitable?
    OR
    Making something like this? ...... see attached picture. If someone has done this before please let me know. Or recommend an engineer who is capable

    Location: Melbourne S.E suburbs

    If anyone in my area has the AJPS 40mm RCA's to suit RA60 struts. I'd be interested to test fit them to see how close it would actually be.

    Any help would be appreciated as i would like to lessen bump steer

    With 13" rims, you are always going to run out of room fitting various things like brakes and RCA's.

    If you want to get your 40mm spacers machined down to 30mm, then almost any engineering shop or farmer with a lathe can do this. It is about the most simplest job a machine shop could ever be asked to do, so just go to any.

    Whiteline sell RCA's for the sprinter struts, not the RA60 strut.
