Single sided ones suit R33 and S14. Double sided ones suit R32 and S13. Not interchangeable.

'Gktech' arms. They are a SAU trader.

Cusco is the only way to do it right. Or ikeia formula.

Definately I would choose gktech there really good quality and very well priced, but if money is not a criteria then good a jap brand one.

[bluey33]

Richo do you know if Cusco are better and stronger then GKtech??

I like Kazama.

And yes Cusco > Gktech

Its pretty hard to tell you if one is stronger thsn the other unless someone does destructive testing on them. Personally i think strength wise there wouldnt be difference its prob it anything quality of the rose joints, cusco ones will probably last longer.

[bluey33]

I gathered Cusco would have better rose joints. Just hoping someone new if one was stronger then the other as the cusco ones brake easy enough when rallying.

Ask yourself: what do you want them for,

if you're going to drive lots of kays on street maybe stay away from rose/pillow jointed arms - (believe defectable).

if it's for motorsport, ask them how would you source replacement parts - eg new pillow balls.

if it's for bling, get a nice looking set, blue titanium anyone.

As for strength of the various arms, ask yourself, would you put your companys name on something you knew would fall - if they name it, they should stand by it or they'd go bust.

[billywhiz]

Should have added, I'm looking for a motorsport set myself.

If you want bang for your buck, surely you can’t go past the SAU trader mentioned, me, I’m also considering a certain fabricator from SA, who uses imperial fittings so he can source decent race spec joints cheaply (as the States is imperial).

[ssxRicho]

Its not that they will brake or bend. More how quickly will the flog out and how hard will the be to adjust and align.

Also we are talking front upper arms here the S chassis doesn't need then, as the strut controls that.

For thr rear arm, hardrace with the polly bush for a street / track car. Much better than a rose joint that will flog out in no time on the road to and from the track.

Jon these are the one http://justjap.com/store/product.php?productid=20359

I wouldnt consider anything else.

The cusco does not use rose joints, its polly bushed. I got mine second hand from japan for $300 and 40 track days later and one crashed car. They are still fine.

I've got a set of JIC arms for the rear. Considering either Sunline Racing or Cusco for the front.

^{Rose joints last f**king ages, don't listen to this rubbish. Its not uncommon to buy cheap old cusco pillow ball arms from the import wreckers that have been on a car for years and years in japan, and there is nothing wrong with them. Rubber or poly bushes are shit, it's more likely that the poly will flog out quicker than a pillow ball. That said, cheap chinese pillow balls will indeed flog out much quicker. Thats really the only problem with cheap china shit, that and the fact you have to tell people you have cheap chinese arms.}

Nah, just tell em they're driftworks arms.

[billywhiz]

I don't run a motorsport company, just have my personal experience to go from but maybe you'll want to add Taiwanese to your Chinese pillow ball crap list.

Get clunks from left side of the car, so when I got my alignment done I asked them to give the suspension the once over - result, all connections tight, clunk is coming from pillow ball slop. The suspension has been in for 1yr, 12 driven to track days and <10,000km. Is that f**king ages?

John, just looking at improving my rear setup, front already has coilover struts with camber tops and adjustable castor rods.
