ACTUALLY I think i'll go with the battle version....I don't want it to break on me the first month after install lol I'll think of the extra 3 - 400 bucks as insurance
lol

Please look here:

This should answer your questions and give you an idea on what needs to be done. There is a war going on in there as well in regards to what is better and this and that...but read it and take it for whats it worth.

haha..yeah. I hate it most when I have to follow behind the bus. Sorry I couldnt turn yesterday's bump into a 3 car cruise May was late for work...then when we saw you pull up right before the Alakea turn in...I was like - "Ah crap, should've turned it into a 3 car cruise."

Holly Sh*t; ouch! BattleVersion Toe Arms requires true coilovers. A pair SPC Toe Bolts requires some dremeling. That's if your stock toe arms are in good condition. If BattleVersion is chosen (due to damaged toe arms) be sure to match the length of the "adjustable arms" to a healthy stock arms before installing. Good Luck.

YEa I think i should go with Battle Version. SPC is only the bolt right? yea I need new bars. Well Yea that's what I get lol It's ok though, I'm probably gonna do the turn again once i get better tires and fix my arms. It's the safest place....well at least that's what I think but the vakamon guys get all mad if we do it too early lol. Costco is good but I don't like pissing off the rc guys so I wanna leave them alone....the rc guys are scarier than vakamon and vakamon normally doesn't care as long as we do it while their not open.

BLAH yes I will go with battle version where can I get these arms? I can't seem to find any site that sells em. Only the 240 ones... i'm gonna need a month to save up anyway.

oh and I plan to go with the top secret coil over but not right now...

OH SNAP! I don't think I broke the toe arm.... is te toe arm the thing that is holding my springs in because if it is, then it's not the thing thats broken.....the rod that is broken is this rod that goes perpendicular to the rotors and looks like camber arms.

This is where the rods are located

Top secret does true coilovers? For an itching fishtailer like me, I go for more affordable true coilovers. Like I replied earlier; optionimports has BattleVersion. You can have SPC rear camber arms combine with BattleVersion's rear toe arms, less elongating work. I have some old pics HERE. ...I heard SPC is working on affordable full adjustable front A-arms.

G's are too nice and expensive to go out and crash with, esp. if you're just learning. Get a 240 and practice first...
