RCAs in general will subtract a bit of camber. Dropping down the lower arm while the upper stays the same will in effect make the lower arm shorter,reducing your camber.

Thought I'd bring this post back to life, but has anyone figured out if any other companies are producing the kits yet beside youzeland?? (priced is insanely high but I understand the RND that has to go towards this kit and CNC time) I spoke with SAGE but they are not planning to produce this kit cause of low request. I was wondering if we can get a good amount of request to get this product going?? Trying to give good attention towards this cause our cars do need this.

I just had a good talk with Pete from SAGE, He's willing to produce a kit for the UCF30/31 but he needs to know if people are willing to jump in on this. (more than 10 people maybe even more just making a guess right now. he just wants to know if this is worth making an putting out there for us.) The kit will be much cheaper than the SS pro kit that Youzeland body kit has out on the market but there is one thing he needs but i would need to talk to any member that has the rear and front kit. Please PM ME this could benefit you also if all the talks etc go thro smoothly.


Would this interest anyone here??

Well I have the SS Pro Kit on my car. There are other companies that make a RCA for the LS. But only the SS Pro Kit and Nagisa correct for caster. The rest are just spacers for the lower ball joint.

Well SAGE said the RnD will make the cost up, but he said he can prolly replicate it if theres a member out there willing to let them make a copy of it.

Sorry for bringing up an old thread... however I wanted to see if Sage ever did anything? Any other options than doing Youzealand or Nagisa? Would really like to lower the front more and correct caster. Any insight is appreciated as this topic seems to have limited information across the web.

PM Chrispy. He's pretty knowledgeable on this stuff and may know of an alternative.

contact Sage to see if they make anything. I know Figs engineering is starting to develop some stuff for the LS430. Another member and I, purchased the front adjustable upper control arm from FIGS.

from what i know, Nagisa is the most easily accessible right now. there is actually a set for sale for the LS430, but rather pricey at $5XX..

I spoke with SAGE awhile back they will not make a set because there's not enough interest on there end to make it (not enough inquires from the 430 crowd). The only way they will make a set if they have 20+ owners that willing to buy in. They also said the RnD will be costly and the kit wont be as cheap as there other kits. but they did say if someone is willing to let them borrow there kit they could copy it and push it out at a cheaper price.
