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

Hi guys

All products are modified from your own Factory Parts

Call for quote

Tie rod end extension

+10mm or +20mm

$40 Swap over $30 for sau members

For

s13/s14/s15

r32/r33/r34

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?

    • I’m doing some side developments on SR20det S13 engines, its one my hobby cars used it to compare flow capacity of some smaller size wheels. SR20det is one of another JDM legendary engines I'm sure there are plenty of SR enthusiasts on this forum, I will share results some common turbo configurations here. a quick run down of what the car is: Wide body 180sx Type X with black top engine (blue). It has: Stock bottom end Haltech 1500 ECU 5-0 motorsports trigger kit Kelford SR20DET Beehive Spring with Titanium Retainers Kelford Cams SR20DET S13 188-B 268/272 Cams G25-660 Turbocharger in T2 .64 rear housing internally gated ARP Head studs MLS head gasket 1000CC ID injectors Walbro 450L Fuel pump Front mount cooler kit JJR’s 3 inches turbo back exhaust (its too short for the 180sx it had to be extended) Pump 98 fuel Hub Dyno tune So far made 270rwkws at 22psi full boost by 4500RPM. Engine is very knock limited hence a pretty bad looking top end. From previous experiences it seems like SR20dets are happier with bigger size turbine, some thing like a GT30 would make way better top end, but on same time response is lost. It won't be a problem with S15 VCT engines. I'll be testing alternative turbine housing, turbine wheel and possibly dump pipe options for extra flow to resolve the problem and of course E85 would resolve all the issues.            
    • Awesome writeup and details. Thanks for sharing the story so far. I can relate to parts of it with my previous car and some of the issues I had to deal with.
    • Wow the colour matched hard top completely transforms the car. Are there any nice front lip options for the car or is that off the table?
    • Generally yes but for some reason I've been ruthless this time around!  I might even need to do another tip run after the way I've finally been able to hit the delete button on shit I've stepped over, stepped around and tripped over for the past 10 years!
    • I just quote the Rolling Stones. Paint it black.
