I want all those Ikeya parts!!! I still don't fully understand what they all do but they are nice. Eventually I'll get my hands on them, but I guess the Daizen control arm and steering rack bushings will have to do for now, as some other goodies too. Anybody have these, I know shanec has the control arms front and back.

Interesting, thanks for your opinion. How do you like the steering improvement and how big of a difference can you feel?

I was all hot & bothered to resolve the camber issue on my GS due to it's being so low.

But I don't drive the car that much any more. It's semi-retired.

For the $ needed to invest in all those cool suspension arms I can keep replacing
20" tires every year for the next 5 years instead.

For a street car I don't really see the point.

But cool to see some new stuff anyway.
