Default ISF REAR MEGA Arms and ADJ Toe links 1st Production built RELEASE VERY SOON

Here are my first renderings for a camber/toe kit for the 2IS/ISF, The toe link length and tubing design is not final, but the stud and HMA spacers are all on order or in house. I need to finalize drawings for the arms and get them on proto order. Stay tuned. Based on my S3 MEGA Arm design for the IS300.



updated...test installed this weekend, more pics on pg.3


Finished product with powdercoating

yes. I will post up pics once I get protos. All the holes will be dimpled inward for strength. So they should be lighter and stronger than stock.

Hi Figs,
So whats going to be the difference between your arms and tom's lower arms.
I'm still a nub so if could please explain what these will do for an is350 lowered on megan coils and sitting on megan rods and f-sport sways...

Here is a simple comparo from what I can see of the TOM's

TOM's
-Stock arm that has been stiffened. (added weight)
-Perhaps stiffer inner bushing
-Nice powdercoating
-Stock adjustment (none)
-expensive and imported from japan


FIGS MEGA Arms
-Ground up designed to be light, should be about 2lbs lighter than stock. Dimpled for strength, minimized material, cross braced in essential areas.
-Adjustable: Shock angle, sway link connection, camber,camber-toe interaction.
-Rubber bushing replaced with 3-piece precision teflon-line rod end. Never any noise from metal on metal and salt spray life tested in numerous Colorado winters.
-Made to order to your custom specifications. Bare or powdercoated. Additional bracing or modifications available.
-Reasonably priced, cost projection is $400-$450/pr

A note on my arms, they are in use on competition grip, drift and drag cars Some over 800HP. They have been proven to stand up to a lot of abuse and provide extremely predicitable handling and precise control.

Here are a few pics of my IS300 versions.



Feel free to ask any questions.

I am getting in the S3 version for the IS300 this week and then based on how those go together I will make small changes and then get the ISX50 going. The one outstanding thing I need to see is if I should add the outer eccentric (need to create a bolt or adjustment mechanism) or keep a stationary outer mount and leave adjustment to the inner rod end.
