Re: Longer lower arms

Now I have double checked. I need 22mm longer ones to get 1.5º neg. camber.

I just fitted MX73 arms (which I presume are the same as MA61??) to my car for this very reason, but it didn't entirely fix the problem - due to twisted chassis
I can measure them later, but I'd say they're about 13mm longer than your present arms, whereas the MX62 ones are about 50...
It IS legal and safe to weld them, provided you brace them and do a good job of it.
Another option would be some offset bolts/bushses on the crossmember end. These are a bit fiddly to fit, but will do the job. Then there's always strut tops...

1. Those arms dont share same part number, but it's most likely that those are very similar.
2. Please, do measure those.
3. I dont have issues with welding lower arms. I trust highly to my welding skills. I have access to dozens of welding machines (tigs, migs, arc welders...). Inspection engineers are those who (might) have issues.
4. You forget to mention negative camber rca's. Yet I like best, the idea of increasing track width. It would hopefully make my car more stabile, bodyroll wise. Strut tops would be good, but importing them from USA (who sells in europe?) would cost several hundred of dollars, after taxes and I dont have $$$.
CelicaRA45: If those arms that you got are 22mm longer. Are you then sure that those are from MX-62? Im just pointing to mrshin's post...
