online translator: http://babelfish.yahoo.com/

front roll center adjusters:

http://night-pager.com/parts/parts_e...ollcenter.html

(note: they sell ucf20 brake conversions with all the parts needed)

both front and rear RCA's:

i ordered them through http://www.rhdjapan.com, and it took less than two weeks to arrive in the mail from japan. their markup is about 10%+shipping, which was resonable, at least for me compared to the local places and the time it took to arrive (others said 4-6 weeks at higher shipping cost) .

it dosen't work like a wheel spacer. it can drop your ride height 25mm, or allow you to gain back 25mm of stroke in your coilover. depending on your drop, it might allow you to get back some positive camber adjustment, but i'm not sure there is 25mm worth of range in the stock adjusters to flush out your wheel to your fenders. you'll have to go aftermarket with stuff like this:

http://www.nagisa-auto.com/products/...ota/index.html

for ucf30 brake conversion people out there, the RCA gives brake caliper clearance away from the ball joint assy, etc.

go translate the night-pager page which describes how it works... too much for me to type

I think I'm gonna do this mod....I'd hate too lose my -3 camber in the front though.....cause I love it that way...

i guess I should change my ball joints while I'm in there

you can just shave that bolt on the lower ball joint, it's only a few mm...I've seen it done on an Aristo, I'm sure it'll work on a GS.
