Front Suspentions Monds Lca's /tierod Ends / Caster Rods


Recommended Posts

Hey guys i am modding lca's and other suspention components

for greater lock or wide wheel aplications

this is what im doing if your interested give me a bell ( this really is just to have fun so i can practise more and more i have already done 3 cars and we also had a ago at strenth testing them )

Parts are done by a combo of tig welds and mig welds

Am able to do more models

Call for quote

All parts Arm welded by a professional

And will be stronger than there were before they were modified

What we do?

WE cut the lower control arm and extend it by welding in a piece of metal in its place we extend it by the amount that you have asked

Why we do this

We do this to bring out the wheel so we can put wider wheels on the car without hitting the wheel tubs

to get more camber

to clear tubs so you can run more wheel lock ( for drifting )

i am happy to answer as many questions as you like

i also have some photos if you would like to see some of the arms so you get a good idea what we do

and all my work i have done on my own car so you can come down and see how it works and what it will do for you

the process will take between 1-3 days

(work includes weekends or weekdays)

located in vic but can work out shipping

your pretty much correct risking

i extend them by welding a peice of metal inbetween

then i also tig weld a bottom plate on the lower controll arm for extra stregth

if anyone has any questions at all feel free to ask :)

I have a question.

What do you do about the bump steer issue created

What do you do about the roll center stuff up it causes

What do you do about the appualing scrub radius

Or is it irrelevant cause the wider arms make it handle better......

That's three questions. :P

You'd probably strangle me Brad if you saw what I've done for suspension arm work on my buggy.

I'm redoing them and want to do it at least vaguely properly. Was seriously strapped for time when I bodged up the current ones. When I get around to it in a few months I'll post up a thread asking for advice I think.

Dont drive over bumps

cut the springs

Put the tyres on the back when they are scrubbed and do burnouts

Correct

What do you do about the bump steer issue created

Bump steer is created for alot of reason's But! 10 mm or 20mm out is not enough to affect this

What do you do about the roll centre stuff up it causes

Yes roll centre will be affected but by a amount that willbe hard to measure...

thats like saying people that run wheel spacers OR!! offsetwheels are doing this.........

What do you do about the appualing scrub radius

Ok so at 20mm You will not get scrub... If you had spacersand lca and camber arms then yes you would

But i also have a guard roller you can use

Or is it irrelevant cause the wider arms make it handlebetter......

All mods dont give you a better result but allows you To dothings to give you a improvement (ex: installing wider wheels )

E.g i put a high flow fuel pump in the car do i get morepower?

NO! But!! i am ableto tune in more power or wind up boost without leaning out...

Anyone that questions this ask me more questions im happy toexplain

I'd like to know more.

Can you explain exactly how lengthening tie rods/ control arms only provides a negligible change to bump steer and the roll center?

Do you know what a scrub radius is?? I don't mean the tire scrubbing on the guard....

ok mate this is how i see it

this mod is meant for a cretin application

For me this was drift

he arms Are extremely Strong and safe

and I have used them for the reason to bring out the wheel So i clear wheel tubs

I am Just trying to Help Fellow drifters To get Where i have

...

instead of feeling like im stealing from you. you could have pm'ed me about what you do and i could have promoted what you do To All the sites i drift

but when i needed these mods done i couldn't find anyone that would do it.

im not looking to make money I have a day job for that

  • 2 weeks later...

Thats great amount of lock abe, what have you modified for that much lock? Im trying to get more lock on my 33 but at the moment just have the spacers in there and the r33 rack only goes lets a 4mm spacer slide in, whats the next step I have to take?

    • small update time, after always wanting a "cool" looking bonnet for my car and always struggling to find one for the series 2 that i liked and wasn't an insane amount of money. Saw one i liked on RHDjapan from D-speed in Japan the price was very good for a carbon bonnet so good infact i was a little unsure how much i trusted it, decided to bite the bullet and with the help of jesse streeter in not long at all it was at my door. Once it was delivered i ran in from work and quickly unboxed it and to my surprise the quality was actually pretty good i quickly removed the old bonnet and placed on the new one to test it out and even the fitment wasnt too bad at all. Then decided to paint the little grille in the bonnet black to stop it sticking out so much.   I decided to not mess around with the hood latch and just install some aero catch hood pins, having never installed them before did some YouTube university classes and i was good to go. fair to say it is not a fun job at all from making brackets so the pins sit nicely and actually cutting through the bonnet but also being very scared of cutting the holes too big it took wayyyy longer than i would like to admit but finally got it there. Then it was time for a quick test drive to ensure the latches actually worked and thankfully the bonnet looked very stable. I still think paint matching the bonnet and leaving just the part that sticks up as carbon would help make it all look alot neater as im not sure how i feel about all that carbon on a very fridge white car but will leave it as is and see how i feel with time.  
    • I think it's bound to happen, you finally get it all perfect, and bam, something will happen. I took a while to get a Commodore rear quarter repaired where a P Plater clipped it. Two days after getting it back, Sarah wiped it out on a concrete pillar in an underground car park... This is why I take forever to repair them, it stretches how long until it gets bent again... 😛
    • Nah, not really responsible for that little fiasco, but I'm still pissed at myself for writing off my 86, or when I reversed my VX into a pole just before selling it, but, meh, 5hit happens to stuff, all it takes is a slight distraction, and life is full of distractions, and "dooh" moments   
    • Me coming to check the thread to see if my manual boost controller was set up correct......  
    • Ah yes but were you responsible? In the time I've had it (just before Christmas) I spun off the track twice and drove into things twice, so four separate incidents.. in two outings. Luckily I have a full OEM GTR front end to put on which is hopefully not a precursor for further, future, more expensive mistakes to come. It is some consolation that anyone who would want to buy my Altia bar would have to paint it anyway, the guards, too. (if they can get over the asymmetry). Hopefully over the weekend I will disassemble and see how badly things are bent. From what it looks like, the headlight has actually just been pushed back and bent the headlight support (which .. somehow... crushed the guard in). I guess the headlight plastic is strong stuff.
