R33/r34 Front Camber -

[dori34]

what have you fellow r33/r34 GTST/GTT owners out there installed to adjust or fix camber on the front of your cars?

i've read that the adjustible arms (from just jap) can be a pain to adjust whilst on car. can anyone confirm this?

the superpro kit will require the stock arms to be removed, old bushes removed and new joints pressed in = more time the car is off the road.

pros & cons of each kit and any personal experience with either in regards to installion, adjustment, etc.

cheers

What you're saying is pretty accurate - The design is such that they are hard to adjust on car with the JJR arms and the superpro bushes will require you to press out/in as required.

If you want adjustable camber, you'll need to make a choice: re the above lol.

Just get the arms they will give you more adjustment the bushes dont offer much, its not like you get a wheel alignment every week so who cares if its takes a bit more effort to adjust them.

What, like an extra hour?

I've got the JJ ones.

Cost me $55 at JAX in Liverpool each time I do my wheel alignment before track days I get 3.5 front and 2.5 rear, then returned to street setting after.

They need to remove my front wheels and get it up on a hoist to adjust the front, all up takes them about 45 minutes max, nothing about bushes, a couple of big spanners is all that is needed.

I'm wanting adjustable castor arms ? now.

yeah i just put the JJR arms on my car

its 1 bolt to be removed each side to adjust and as someone else mentioned - wheel alignments arent something you do ever week

The bushes will be cheaper so if you are only chasing a degree or so adjustment for a street car they would be fine.

Myself, I'd get the arms for maximum adjustability.

ive been wondering this for a little while, was leaning more towards the adjustable arms but my question is whether there is much of a difference or benefit between the rubber bushes on the arms or pillowballs?? any help appreciated

[dori34]

thanks for the info guys,

definitely made up my mind and getting the adjustible arms now.

Mark/MLR, do they do good work @ jax??

[The Bogan]

Ive had my wheel aligments done about 15 to 20 times there over the last 3-4 yrs, LOL.

Ive had no problems with them, just be sure to tell them what you want it for, a couple of guys there do drifting and some trackdays, the boss owns a Rambler Gremlin drag car.

Go have a chat to them.

I put the Superpro ones in man, my mate showed me the tricks to fitting them and the second side i did in the car without any drama.... Hammer to knock the old bush out, a couple of accurate love taps and they fall out and then when fitting the new ones in i just used a monster set of multi grips and squeezed them in, was pretty easy to fit.... As for adjustment, i reckon its going to be harder but it all depends on the competence of the tyre guys you use i guess......

OR i could just leave them adjusted where they are at MAX neg camber

[dori34]

i believe they only provide -/+ 0.05 degrees camber which is sfa lol

might as well pay bit more and get heaps more adjustment in the adjustible arms.

[boostn0199]

Even the arms are only +-3degrees, I couldnt get more than -3 camber so I extended my LCA.

You;re doing something wrong if you're only getting that much adjustment!

[dori34]

oops i meant +/- 0.5

boostn0199; +/- 3 is plenty for what i need as i'm only after around 1 to 1.5
