Hi,
My first post :)
This is probably a daft question but I thought it was better to sound silly by risking asking a stupid question than "look" silly by ruining 1200 quids worth of suspension by guessing :)
I recently installed tein flex coilovers on my s14a and as we all know the camber needs to be corrected. Rather than muck about with any inbetween solutions I have gone the whole hog and plumbed for cusco upper arms to correct the camber
Couple of problems however....
The instructions I have are not in english, I know what has to be replaced but I am unsure as to how to set the telescopic bolts. Which bolt should be extended and by how much during fitting ?
My plan was to take the existing standard arms length as a guide then adjust the cusco one to match this before fitting. Again I just wondered which part of the bolt you are meant to extend. The thicker part the thinner part or both my equal amounts.
Finally does anyone have torque settings for all the bolts I have a workshop manual and that details the standard Nm ratings for each bolt. However this is for a standard arm and I don't know if those settings apply to the cusco unit in the same way.
Of course someone might just point me to the english version of the instructions however :D
Thanks in advance for any advice offered.
