has anybody investigated whether the rca adapter is the only way to fit the 95-00 LS front calipers on any gen GS? the 1st gen LS has the same problem of interference with the tie rod end as the GS, but a forum member found that the 95-00 lower ball joint is a direct bolt-on (for the 1st gen LS) and will solve the clearance problem.

it eliminates the camber change and front end drop that happens when the rca adapter is installed, but the front toe alignment does change with the new ball joints. i didnt want to bother the parts guys at my local dealership with this, but if somebody could measure the hole spacing on the 2nd gen LS and GS ball joints, it would be a big help to the community.

Theres so many topics on this,but there isnt a definate answer(reffering to the rcas) .. ive decided to make my own RCA kit.. paying 100+ euro or over 200 bucks just inst worth it.

ill make em and sell em on here!
(but not for 100s.. just for a few bucks to cover costs)
made in germany!

i added .5" RCAs, clear the tie rod perfectly

I think someone mentioned you can shave some of the tie rod I guess (or whatever the caliper was hitting). Not sure if I would suggest it. But the RCA doesn't seem that hard to make. I think you can actually just use washers.

you can shave the tie rod, i am not recommended to do that. I have not tried washer before but it will look funny and i am consider its not safe as the RCAs

Raph TT

the rcas arent that expensive anymore.. i found em cheap


note above are the real RCAs ..

a CA based shop wanted 235$ shipped for cheesy cheap looking nasty knock offs
$50 for shipping..she could fit em in a bubble pack Flat rate envelope for $15.... i hate dishonest pirates!
..

rant off



im going for the RCAs from night pager.. they cost 16000 yen ( $145)
