Default Cusco front A Arms are here!

Finally after months of waiting, we have received our shipment of the new Cusco camber adjustable A Arms for the Z/G. Expect a full write up sometime late next week as I will be installing these on my own car.

The Cusco A Arms are not quite as hardcore as some of the other setups out there, as they use a rubber insulated center sections vs the pillowball mounts of some of the other setups (ala 350Evo's awesome pieces). These are designed to not only be extremely affordable, but also totally quiet in their operation. These arms allow for 3 degrees of positive adjustment and 6 degrees of negative adjustment, making them able to bring just about anyone's suspension back within factory specs. Of course, your end results can vary due to your specific suspension, rideheight, and tire measurements 9as all those factors affect front camber).




you can read the full specs on our site here: http://z1auto.com/prodmore.asp?model...ng&prodid=1288

I'm eager to get these installed on my own car, as my car is especially low (Cusco Zero 2 coilovers). While I still managed decent tire wear from my fronts, this will really help get my setup dialed in for track days come spring time, and then being able to quickly switch back to a more street friendly setup during the week

Adam, thanks for posting the update. One critical question remains for me. How much do they weigh?

with all these A-arms on the market now available, my question is what are we going to do with caster??

I understand we can adjust camber, then get the rods etc to adjust toe, fine. I have yet to see a solution for caster.

Those look real nice by the way.

I agree. Luckily my Z tracks VERY straight, so the caster is close enough to equal left & right. But, I agree, someone should design upper arms that would adjust camber & caster.

wow, that's cheaper than I though, especially from Cusco.

Shoot, if this came out earlier I might use different suspension setup.
