For those still interested, I should have the RCA's ready soon...ones that do not affect the ride height. These will be similar to the version on the ISF. This will keep the ball joint in-line with the suspension arm and only push the steering link down...the way it should be. I will have my very own VMC to make these in the next few weeks so prodcution will not be a problem. I tired teh first one and was not happy with the geometry offset, espcially on a double wishbone suspension.

^^True. That is the purpose of RCAs in the first place.
What I'm trying to figure out is how will these not affect ride height. Anytime you have spacers in between the balljoint and the knuckle, you're raising the hub and that means lower ride height. You can use RCA and still get the same ride height, providing you have longer shock/springs, hence why only those with coilovers are able to obtain the same height with RCAs.

Here is a question for all of you who have swapped brakes over to 95-2000 LS400 calipers and rotors.
What do you use for brake lines?
DO the stock 2nd gen rubber or stainless steel lines bolt right on ?
thanks

Would anyone be kind enough to measure the stock rubber lines for length ?
I am looking for the
1. length end to end total
2. metal fitting lengths both ends
3. rubber hose length.
I really appreciate it , thanks

I just installed mine and I chose to go with the shaving of caliper route. Be very careful when grinding off some metal. I actually shaved too much and put a hole in the caliper. It was all good, though. It only cost me $20 dollars to get the hole tig welded shut.
