Coming soon on group buy, RX8 rear adjustable camber and toe arms. Pillow ball design, forged center shaft. More detail coming soon.

** Adjustable Rear Toe Arms
** Adjustable Camber Arms
** Adjustable Traction Rods

 

Nice!

 

do the arms give it extra range?

 

What would be the point if they didn't...



How much are they going to cost? Interested in this but if the pricing is anything like their other products then not so much.

 

thought it was for bling like half the stuff that goes on around here not that i mind or anything

 

Yes the arms are extra length and fully adjustable on both end. Also the bushing are upgraded to heavy duty urethane. The toe arms also get the pillow ball mounts upgrade.

Not sure on the pricing yet, but these are well made high quality parts. I don't expect pricing to be low.

 

I think the maximum benefit will be for slammed cars. I don't think this will do much for moderate to stock riding cars, which have decent adjustment anyways.

 

Actually the most benefits for these are track cars. The extra adjustment allow driver to adjust the toe and camber allowing maximum tire contacts. In addition the pillow ball joints are better in handling response from the OEM version.

 

Picture shows a third adjustable link, I forget the name of that one.

The picture of the camber arm shows it is only adjustable on the spindle side, which IMHO is better. You have the stock adjustment on the inside so you dont need a third adjustment point, it just makes things more difficult to adjust and tighten.

Why not use Heim bearings instead of bushings? Its better and thats what the Megan links use, which brings me to my last question/point. I dont see the market needing another set of adjustable links. Mazdatrix has their $1500 modified stock links and Megan racing has a full set 5/5 adjustable links for the $1000-1200 range. If the pricing comes in below megan racings price then great, otherwise I just dont see these selling. Not trying to be negative, just my observation.

 

Heim bearings are susceptible to dirt and corrosion. They are OK for race cars, but not so for street driven cars.

 

Agreed, but these are race parts. No reason to put them on a street car, you dont need more adjustablitiy and feedback/response isn't an issue on a street car.

Funny thing, my car stayed cleaner as a street car then it does as a track car. I clean and inspect the undercarriage and suspension on a regular basis anyways.

 

Where is the market for these parts? Don't you think that there is a larger street market for these "race" parts than on race cars. You, in central California, don't have the weather variations that most of the rest of the country has.

 

Yes here in northern california the weather is fantastic and when I want snow I just drive 2 hours to go sking on world class mountains.

I dont think there is a market for these parts on street cars, thats kind of my point. If someone is buying them to put on a street car its for bling and they are waisting their money. Might as well take the stock links off and have them powder coated.

Besides these are being marketed as race/track parts, which is why I asked about use Heim joints instead of rubber/poly bushing.

 

well if you look at the rest of this section of the forum...

I would prefer bushings to heim links since my car is also my beater, not everyone can afford or have space for a dedicated track car. I'm also maxed out on camber right now and another half degree would do wonders

 

I'll double check the spec again, but I think some are Heim joints/bearing instead of poly/urethane bushing.

Haven't receive the pricing yet, but don't expect them to be cheaper than Megan racing.

GTSPEC products are very high quality stuff. The rods end are all forged. The round housing are forged as well. The welding are superb, and all welding are robotic tig weld now. I believe Megan racing still hand weld.

 

Not really, if you have coilovers and you are lower a bit, you have a crazy good adjustment range in the rx8. You can get as much camber as you want, and you can change the toe however you want.

The problem is when your car is too low, then you will have too much camber. These thing will help you fix that.

You could probably get an energy suspension bushing master set for the car for the price of these and it would make more of a difference for a track car.

 

yeah, but with the GTSPEC piece, the adjustment will be much easier and the range widen even more. not to mention the arms are reinforce to have stronger support.

I think part of the arms are heim bearing / joints, but waiting to find out more info shortly.

 

Any word on these?

im lowered with tein basics, and my rear camber was -2.2 (or was the guy doing the alignment an idiot) that's some good wheel wear. id like them to better

 

any idea on pricing?

 

Update?

 

Nice! Price???

 

Hey would be interested in getting a set of these in the UK? any updates, pricing ect?

Megan racing already makes all of these parts (which I own) and are amazing quality. Have had the rear UCA for over 2 years, in chicago, without a spot of corrosion on them.
People need to be useful and make front adjustable arms.

 

Keep us updated. The megan parts have come a very long way over the years.
