Got a few of questions on doing ls400 caliper upgrade. I have completely stock suspension and stock 5 spoke 17" wheels. I know that I would have to run hubcentric 15mm specers for the calipers to clear wheels. So my questions are:
1. Will 15mm wheel spacers along with 30mm rca kock my wheel alignment off?
2 Will this combo put a lot of stress on ball joints/wheel hubs and suspension in general?
3. Is Megan brand rca good quality?

thanks for the response.

will 30mm rca create too much of a drop in the front?

i have 30mm RCA now and and swapping them out for NRCA as soon as they arrive in the mail. RCA from my understanding actually relieves stress from the LBJ. PM me if you want dibs on my 30mm Sage RCA before I post them up FS.
what suspension are you running? The 30mm RCA will lower your car that much.

yes

cool cool!

op, don't hesitate, I really can't come up with anything negative about RCA blocks. More low, better ride, corrects geometry when lowering car. if you're on stock Susp it'll even out the wheel gap due to the front fenders being cut higher than the 1/4 panels. Pic is for comparison of NCRA & RCA blocks.

Just got my self some 350z 18" wheels and hubcentric rings to clear the LS calipers the only thing left to do it the RCAs. Does anyone know where I can but some that are no bigger than 20mm? I found 18mm from Sage but its gona cost me about $170, I think its a bit too much considering that Megan 30mm ones are $80.

FIGS makes 17mm RCAs.

yea he does but I think its a bit overpriced, $170 for two small aluminium blocks is a bit excessive. Thank you for the tip thou
