I dialed it back as far as I could to 6*, and added a larger spacer so I?m at -32 effective. And adjusted the coilover lower mount to reduce camber. And installed s13 lower control arms which are about 7mm shorter. So I?m sitting at about -4 front camber.

I have the Gktech v2 lower adapter on the low Ackerman setting.

It feels very good now, it?s easy to control the line and the front end has a lot of bite when I?m aggressive and it?s easy to widen the line and float out.

It feels a lot more like when it was stock just with a ton of angle, and more bite Which is great.

Good to hear!


Okay so these RLCA brackets were interesting. I think it's partly because I have wisefab, and partly just the way this goes, but be prepared to do a lot of fitting and triple checking. Also don't be like me and weld the inside seems without checking clearance first, I had to do quite a bit of grinding to get the heim joint spacers to fit back in .



In order to get the rod end to not be maxed out, I twisted the bracket quite a bit. This helped a ton, and allowed me to not have to hammer the LCA or bolts into place, hah. I did also have to grind down the "seam" on the subframe pretty heavily to allow me to slide the bolt in easily.

Fitment should be pretty nice, even with these second hand G35 wheels and maybe a few mm spacer.
