Default SAGE 18mm front RCA...installed.

Some of you know I had 18mm front RCAs made for me since last year. The first set didn't fit properly...I had them re-designed and they fit, but I never installed them until recently because I was couldn't find the proper 12.9 grade bolt w the correct length. I recently had some longer bolts professional cut for me....and after install, took some pics....clearance is about 3 mm between the LS400 caliper and the outer tie rod castle nut/bolt tip when I turn the wheel to the left and right.

Im on airrunners, so I really didn't need the 30mm front RCA drop...just needed the 18mm RCAs to bump up the LS400 calipers.

Damn you Pete!!! I want those ones Wanna swap my 30mm ones for 18mm? I haven't installed them yet nad I'll cover shipping both ways I don't feel like grinding out the prototypes LOL I think the only way I can use your 18mm prototypes is if I grind through the center part all the way to clear the ball joint

Depending on demand, these 18mm maybe put into production.

Good news..I got word today that SAGE 18mm will be available in early Jan 2012...at a very good intro price.

These are made specifically to clear the LS400 BBK...and drops your 2GS by 18mm.

If you want a bigger drop...the 30mm and 40mm front RCA are available too.

^Good to hear, maybe i'll grab a set if the price is right

I have a question
Does the different size RCA affect how much stress is on the lbj? Or is it all the same, just more of a drop?
