Making something adjustable for the upper arms would be better, but clearance is an issue when the suspension gets to full droop, the upper arms have a kink in them for this, but that makes it hard to put an adjustable turn-buckle in them.Super Pro have off-set bushes for the inner mount of the arms, but you can only adjust about +/- 1 degree. Let me know what you find bud Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it just for tyre clearance or are you trying to set the car up for motorkhana events? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it just for tyre clearance or are you trying to set the car up for motorkhana events?both. tyre clearance and car setup .. saying that, ill be using a 235/45/R17 R-comp tyre so I want as much tyre contact as possible, so I cant have too extreme camber on the rear.and increasing the rear track promoting oversteer is ok, but not too much Edited 13/07/10 10:10 AM by Tocchi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you can, get some off-set caster rod bushes for the front of your FG, the further forward you can push the front wheels the more chance you will have of increasing the front end grip - that big lump of Boss motor doesn't help!
