Default FIGS MEGA Arms for the Gen2 GS camber correction
Hello, due to interest I will create a modification to my IS300 arms so that they will work with the Gen2 GS rear lower control arms for infinite camber correction and alignment adjustment. The design change will be a chromoly tubing extension to the rod end mount as rendered below. I should hopefully have some protos built tomorrow but this thread will document the process and updates as well as allow customer feedback so that I can make sure all questions are addressed.



Thanks, Fig

I have one guy that will test in TX, so he will get the first set. But the Beta round testing I would like a larger group so I will offer the first units at a significantly lower price.

Would these prevent the need for RCA on the rear axle ?

Haha.. That guy that will be the first one to test is Jeff huh??? No love for me Fig? But can you possibly design something into the arms for a greater range of caster adjustment please. I'll be interested in those. Let me know when you're done and I'll pull the trigger.

So this will correct the camber wear for lowered cars?

Does it matter if the car is on springs or coils?

Thanks

I can send you some love too, I just can only build so much at a time All I want is good feedback so I can make them bulletproof.


Caster angle can be adjusted with these and the other Trac links that I am working on so that you can change both legs of the triangle.

This is what I finished today. I still need to weld in the eccentric rests, then they will ship out for testing.

Coilover guys with rear RCA should sell theirs and get these instead.
