i got new tyers put on the other day and they did an alignment for me... the best they could achieve on the rear was around -2 to -3 degrees camber they dude sugested i get rear camber arm.... he said this is happeing because of my coil overs..... even set at the highest setting (hilux spec imo) its still not what i would call decent camber... and its chewing threw tyers like theres no tomorrow.

where do i look for these?

what do i need to look for?

any recomemded brands, types etc etc

if i do the rear should i do the front? as ill probly lower that soon aswell... (also having the same problem but not as bad)

Dunno...

I used the Whiteline kit, front adjustable castor bushes and rear subframe alignment kit along with front/rear swaybars and Bilstein shocks on stock springs.

Been perfect for 3yrs like this.

By all means get adjustable arms but dont use the cheap china sh*t as the bearings they use are generally crap.

Whiteline do adjustable arm (KTA117 and KTA118) which have plenty of adjustment and a polyurethane bush which for a street driven car is a better way to go imho. Ive had these on my car for 2 years and 50-60000km and had no problem at all.

Hope that helps.

I tried to fit the kta 118 arms to my stagea and found that they made contact with the shocks

The last page of the Stagea Suspension thread discusses other options

    • Good morning all, Bit of a random question but figured I’d finally throw it out after wondering for a long while. Before I start, I'm hoping to do this purely out of personal preference. I think it would look better at night, and don't mind at all spending a few hours and dollars to get it done. I've copied this from a non-Skyline specific forum, so I apologize for the explanation of our headlight switch setup that we all know. Here we go: Zero lights (switch off) Parking lights (switch position 1) being a rectangular marker on the outside of the housing, my low beam being the projector in the centre (position 2), and a high beam triggered by my turn signal stalk. Most North American cars I’ve owned of this era have power to the amber corner (turning indicator) light as part of the first switch (parking lights). I’d love to have these amber corners receive power when the headlights and parking lights are on (headlight switch), yet still blink when using the turn signal which is of course a separate switch. Hopefully I’ve explained my question correctly. Is anyone aware of a way in which I might be able to achieve this? Thanks in advance
    • My heads are cathedral port! It's likely possible, but I don't want to add any extra moving parts (I know they don't move) between the heads, manifolds, etc. It will also affect how injectors/fuel rails etc sit and I don't really know if it would change how the FAST manifold goes/sits/fits. I have the LS6 steam pipes already as I have a very late LS1 block so it should be fine. I couldn't find anyone who had ever actually used one for this purpose, it seems 100% of people grind the water pump. The thermal spacers are 12mm and are half way to the cost of the newer water pump anyhow... so if it comes to that I suppose I'd rather buy a new pump. The bearing in the pump I do have is a little.. clunky, but it hasn't done that much time and I never noticed it when the car was together in the past few years, so..
    • The bushing has failed, not all that uncommon for a car of this age.  Any mechanic should be able to push in a new bushing for you, or you can probably buy the entire lower control arm, complete with bushes.
    • Could you not use "thermal" spacers to give the clearance, like the ones I used between the blower and head? That raised the manifold height by around 10-15mm Albeit the ones I used were for cathedral ports, but I assume they have similar for rectangular ports????
    • Thanks Paul I reached out to Autotainment but they no longer work on JDM cars as the guy who used to do the work moved on and is no longer doing that kind of work. I am talking with Level Up Audio though.
