I busted my traction and toe arm.... anyone know a good after market one to buy? I'm totally lost on this one I'm not really much of a suspension guy.
I was looking around and most places sell the stillen or the kinetix.

Thanks!

 

To my knowledge, JIC Magic and Cusco have these too - not sure where to look for them though...

 

What happend? ...email mike@optionimports.com, where I got my cusco and battleversion arms from. Good Luck.

 

kinetix if you don't got fundage...
battle version if you do...

 

fyi: Cusco front a arms don't have adequate amounts of adjustments if lowered more than H/S Techs.

what happened? i'm guessing you went straight into a curb or something!

 

kinda. I spun out into a curb but I was kinda happy because the axle didn't go. It's not the front, it's the rear.

I know cuscos are pretty good but I haven't heard much about battle version. My fund is around 400-500 for both toe and camber arm. Hopefully I can get something that last and is durable for the right price.

heres a pic


Thanks guys

 

Are these the fronts or rears? I am assuming the rears.

If so, I have contacted and gotten prices and availability for the Battle Version rear toe link and rear camber link from Alex.

You are looking at something like 580 for the 2 sets plus shipping.

However, if you are still in warranty and you can do the job yourself...then just buy the parts from Francis and then do it yourself. Keeps the car in warranty and it might be a lot easier to put back together.

 

I dunno apparently I don't have suspension warranty..... I dont know what that means but even if I was under warranty I think I'd rather get a after market so I can adjust it later when I get my coilovers in do you guys know where I can get a good cheap wheel alignment after I put in the camber kit?

 

SPC for rear camber arms and toe bolt 219 for both

 

Uhmmm need to review "drifting 101" Fast and the Furious 3 did not come out yet. Just kidding. No body damage correct? No police reports right??

Anyhow, Battle Versions are made by Alex Phifer (sp?). Most of the parts in the past were for the 240SX...but due to the popularity of the 350Z and all...he made parts for the Z as well. Just so happened that the G35 and 350Z share the same components...nice bonus there. They are used by himself in the D1 events and others have used them as well in drifting events.

Battle Versions are relatively durable so says all that have used them. I personally have not switched over...I do not know if I ever will as my current setup does not require them. If you go to a true coilover system...then you might want to use them to replace the spring cup and it looks better as well versus an empty cup there.

Like I said though, if you are still in warranty...you might want to replace them with stock items. At least then your warranty for the suspension will still be intact....as well as all related items to that area.

Just my thoughts.

Oops, well exnay my thoughts on the OEM stuff then.

Pacific Automotive does pretty good alignments. They are located on Queen Street...near Chucks Corvette....Queen Bee bar....

 

are the SPC good?

 

Lol Yes I'm such a tokyo drift nub. Well I got a little daring on a turn that I do all the time and went a little too fast. Usually I can handle but this time I kicked out too far. Blah whatever that's the price I pay for fun. No damage no police report just the arms are all bent up

 

580 is kinda expensive.... I think I'll go with kinetix or SPC. I see alot of people are running those on the form... how much for cusco. I know they are a reputable company but I dunno where to get em lol Thanks alot!

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

 

hahahahaha...good for you. bumbai you learn.

I'm gonna go watch the movie when i comes out, wear my Drift Session Staff shirt, and watch all the idiots try and drift in the parking lot.

 

I know that a lot of people are using the SPC....at the same time...the Battle Versions have been around for a while on the tracks. Look them up on the 240 boards. Most of them like them better than the mass produced/large company versions. I believe that you should be able to get the camber and alignment close to stock. Need to talk to Herb.

Cusco parts for suspension seem to go more negative versus positive...but this is because they are meant for the tracks. Tire wear is not an issue there. They are good never-the-less.

In the end, just make sure that you purchase good quality parts...but the correct ones for your needs. Not what everyone says would be cool on your car....but what is practical, functional, and durable.
