Looking for pics of RCA's installed.
With the creation of kidzik's suspension component thread. I am wanting to get a better (visual) idea of what the Roll Center Adjusters/Adapters are, what they do, and where they go. I was specifically looking at the Nightpager kit, but are there others out there?
Also, is there a difference between a RCAdjuster and a RCAdapter?

NAGISA RCA's from MoreJapan $450
In japan there are many companies that make these for cheap. Night pager is an example since in J-Land you can get a new set for about $130 from some 'area shop'. In the US there are zero comapnies that make this parts being that there is ZERO demand. I should fix that...
I had a link with the Ridox Supra being fitted with some goodies and it includes LOTS of detail about the suspension. You can see the RCA's and every adjustable front suspension part on the car. The 2nd pic about the shortening of the spindle is actually from the Ridox car. I'll find it and post the link here.

The more I have been researching the more i see a difference between the 2nd and 1st gen rcas bolts and geometry... indeed they look different. I will confirm this later on during the weekend.

Thanks for the replies man, I think I got how they work now.
I'd defintely be interested in seeing more pics of the Ridox Supra if you can find them. I'm actually a Supra guy at heart, trying to build a good handling 4 door.
Is the Nightpager kit good, or should I look elsewhere.

Gotcha. My wife has a 2gs vs my 1gs. The lower and upper strut mounts and arms are different. I have 2gs coils on my car and modded the upper mount with an adapter plate and welded on lower mounts. Its been 5 or 6 years since ive been under the car since it sits so much these days.
