Guest reepers13 Posted February 11, 2012 Share Posted February 11, 2012 Is there anywhere in the UK that does adjustable toe and camber arms (f&r)? Seen some in US and Japan but at £500+ for one set of ikeyas is out my budget. Thanks Nb if I replace all bushes with white line or similar - will it make a noticeable difference? Car is a jzz30.

Chris Wilson Posted February 11, 2012 Share Posted February 11, 2012 You already have adjustable toe links on the front, and surely rear toe is also adjustable via the stock links? Have you got a link to the parts illustrations, for the suspension front and rear? If the budget won't run to £5000 you are probably looking at making some yourself to be honest, 500 notes goes nowhere having one off stuff made, and i have never heard of any Chinese stuff for these.

Guest reepers13 Posted February 12, 2012 Share Posted February 12, 2012 The car was already aligned and because I wanna go lower I'll need to dial out some rear camber and dial in some front camber. The car is running -3 rear camber which is horrendous for drifting but the guy said it had no more scope for adjusting Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Wilson Posted February 12, 2012 Share Posted February 12, 2012 I have to admit that to me it's pointless, boring and a waste of fuel, but each to their own I have spent most of my working life trying to make cars handle better, grip better and be pleasant to drive near their limit. To artificially cause a car to have **gger all grip, paint it lurid colours and burn up ill fitting tyres performing in front of a mottley crew of youths at some hell hole is something I plain can't fathom at my age IMHO Toyota's best effort at a GT car since the 2000GT deserves a better fate.

Fair one mate but tbh drifting is all about grip. You want good tyres all round and a well aligned car set up to basically a grip setup..

Paul Whiffin Posted February 14, 2012 Share Posted February 14, 2012 bump - anyone know of any uk companies that sell camber an toe arms adjustable? not ikeya though There aren't any I'm afraid, Ikeya or cheapo stuff on EBay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest reepers13 Posted February 15, 2012 Share Posted February 15, 2012 There aren't any I'm afraid, Ikeya or cheapo stuff on EBay. but the cheapo ebay stuff aint that cheap £300 + postage and in the US i want to find some here in the UK anyone got some on here they wanna sell Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swampy442 Posted February 15, 2012 Share Posted February 15, 2012 Would the Soarer forum know? Swampy442 on here might though. Not me dude, sorry. I can only recommend the eBay stuff again. A guy on ClubAristo bought a set for his car, I'm awaiting feedback on quality. I know drifting is populated by pikeys (joke) but 300 quid isn't a lot for a set of arms, especially, as you said formula ikeya stuff runs into thousands.

Chris Wilson Posted February 15, 2012 Share Posted February 15, 2012 Well it's a lot cheaper than the stock parts, so how cheap are you expecting? Low volume parts are nver going to be cheap if made with quality joints. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest reepers13 Posted February 15, 2012 Share Posted February 15, 2012 yer my apologies, im coming from nissans (r32 180sx's etc) and arms new can be had for £120 etc... toyota stuff seems to be substantialy more but i guess not as much in demand hence the prices.. found a US company for £200 delivered which is more realistic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
