Modify the upper trailing arms
I am building my AE86 for trackdays, (grip race), and I wondered how I can modify the upper trailing arms so the are more horizontal, when I have lowered the car. The arms actually hits the metal on the bracket now.

I thinking to move the bracket a bit up, but I have to reinforce it a lot to keep it stable. I borrow a picture here: http://i117.photobucket.com/albums/o65/j...008269.jpg

I have also thought to use equal lenght traling arms, but its a bit difficult to get it right. Like this guy here: http://img187.imageshack.us/img187/3112/cimg0925nw3.jpg
I'm not so happy tho do this operation, as I might will use the car as normal daytime car later. But if its realy nesesary to build these trailings arms boxes, I will do it.

The lower trailing arms can be horizontal just fitting some tractions brakets.


Does anybody have an idea what should be the best choise?

Project AE86 now begun.

Toyota Starlet EP91 1,3 16v Turbo, 200hp
Toyota Starlet EP71 1,3 12v Sport
