Suspension modification

[Widar]

Alimonos; On the left you have an RCA(Roll center adjusters) and on the right you have a camber plate.
Both are from Technotoytuning.com.
You can read about RCA's here:

And about camber plates here:

I'm gonna go with a simular setup except for this beauties:

And these for the rear;

Widar the RCAs are used only with adjustable coilovers right?

Nope, they should be used with any extensive lowering to get the lower control arms to their right position.

Fronts are $725 and rear $600... Alot of money, but good stuff for them!

[The Doctor]

that's quite a lot of money.

BUT here in holland there's a company that can deliver coilover kits (or make them from your shocks, they place a tube on the shock with thread on them and some other stuff to make it complete) for 600 euro or so.

NOT an ideal way imho, but a friend of mine had to do it (because his Celica struts wouldn't fit to his Starlet without them)

1325$ ??????
plus shipping costs....
too expensive to be ours my dear... (talking to my car men)

Then make them yourself...buy loose coilovers from paradise racing, shorten your struts and rest the coilovers on new small perches (those coilovers are aluminium I think, welding them on directly is probably not a good idea). You can choose whatever shock you like, KYB AGX, Koni yellow, Tokico HTS...you name it, as long as it's short stroke. Get the strut sandblasted and anodised/painted and it will look nice enough.

@Ivan: It obviously makes sense financially, but there's another issue. Safety. I don't have a fully equiped garage or access to welding equipment. And even if I did, it would be foolish to start my welding career on my front struts. So I have to take them to a suspension-shop. But how can I trust that they are well built and I won't end up in the gravel (or even a tree) with on collapsed strut? So T3 suddently starts to look like a cost-efficient solution
