SQC049 Posted July 19, 2006 Share Posted July 19, 2006 HKS Kansai just released this adjustable rear control arm set. Now people with lowered cars can adjust rear camber quickly and easily. Here is a pic: http://www.japanparts.com/images/ImageFromDB.php?base=1&no=579 I am going to order a set next week. I'll take pics once they are on the car. Japan parts has them, not a bad price I think. Super JDM part out: http://legacygt.com/forums/showthread.php?t=65039 PM me an offer! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

4boxparts Posted July 19, 2006 Share Posted July 19, 2006 those have actually been out for awhile now. I have a set that I had made. Theyre undergoing testing at this point. The price for the kansai units are kinda high around 300 or so shipped. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PGT Posted July 19, 2006 Share Posted July 19, 2006 not sure. trying to close out the current one on endlinks first. The MSI lateral links are signifcantly more expensive than the prices posted above. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4boxparts Posted July 19, 2006 Share Posted July 19, 2006 The ones I am having made will be around $200 shipped. They are being tested for durability at this point. The first set didn't pass muster. The hks kansai set ends up being around $320 shipped. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All the other companies were selling these for the high 200 to 300 range which I believe is a bit too pricey for this type of piece. As far as I know the jdm companies that have this piece available are: cuscobeatrushhks kansai service Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TRS Posted July 20, 2006 Share Posted July 20, 2006 Mine were $339 shipped from Japanparts.com back in March. The inside edges of my OE rear tires showed significant wear within a few months after I lowered the LGT with Tein H-tech springs. The HKS adjustable lateral links allowed the excessive negative camber to be dialed out. Nice even wear so far across the summer treads I put on this Spring.

TRS Posted July 20, 2006 Share Posted July 20, 2006 what was the before and after readouts of the camber??? normally toe is what you are more worried about. I couldn't find the printout in my files at the moment (time to feed the shredder again) but from what I recall befores at the rear were -2.5 & -1.9*. I asked for -0.5 which I believe they got spot-on. Toe before #s were pretty much nil, with the worst being 5/64". The afters actually ended up being a bit more off overall.

MSI Posted July 20, 2006 Share Posted July 20, 2006 Are they suppling both arms? I do not see the open ended part (the longer arm of the two) We have completed testing on them, they are ready to go. They will last on any car in any condition FOR LIFE. Just as all of our other products. However, it will be impossible to offer our product at the price point. We unfortunatly are not interested to providing a price to the end user that is as low as possible. We develop the part to work and perform, the final price is decided afterwards. From that point we determine if it is worth going into production or not. It will be in the 700$ range for the bushing option including shipping as a special for the GB. List will be 795$ plus transport. I will send pics shortly. Cheers, -mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The piece that I have gotten made looks extremely similar to the kansai piece. It'll do its intended job at a much lower price point. btw, hyundai's are built much better nowadays.

MSI Posted July 20, 2006 Share Posted July 20, 2006 At least we can make people talk I assure you there is not a 100% mark-up on these parts. You can also swap up the bushings (same type as the endlinks - 2 piece) for the teflon bearings we use if you decide to go full race! -mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've seen some of your previous pieces. The pricing definitely shows in the craftmanship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
