#1 longer lower control arms
Posted on: 2013/4/16 12:09
Looking at increasing lower control Arms on.front end. Got stanza now looking at getting another 20mm preside possibly 25 to 30.

don't want Maddat or adjustable really, fixed would be better.
I know ae86 guys use sigma. Is there anything similar here?

Would I need anything else like Tie rods etc?
Looking at a wider rear track too.

Only an idea at this stage

I have 6 sets as pictured and one set in my car and they all measure 290 mm from Center of bolt to end as mik has pictured in his measurements!
I know for fact one set are late ute and I'm unsure of others, I know I've bought some from stanza owners, and others from late utes and Sunnis but the all measure the same even bolt holes to Center of bolt

I also have also got 3 sets of early one coming unless Andy still has them maybe you can mod bolt spacing in early ones to suit!
When I had bought my coupe from Retrorally he had cut and shut x2 early sets 25mm longer than standed to give extra track but I've sold them, they were reinforced bottom and top and also had crush tube fitted inside to strengthen them, they would have been fine but it reduced ball joint options for me as I was going another way with my car!

thanks nic, your measure ment would be more accurate than mine. .5cm lol.

Id prefer fixed.over adjustable too. So 30 or 31cm from that measure mental that can take stanza steering arms for 200b struts

Well my idea is to cut near the rear section of box of stanza/sunny/late ute lca's and cut longer section of early lca's and join them to make longer lca's but will have to plug sway bar hole and re drill mounting point up further

years ago a mate of mine put a L20B in a 1200 coupe,
he used 910 bluebird arms and 200b struts,
I think that he had to drill the control arm mounting hole in the crossmember to a larger size,
but it increased front track by about 70mm over standard.
