Ra60 struts into ta22

hello, i bought some shortened ra60 brakes/struts as a quick upgrade for my ta22, but when installing i found the bolt spacing on the steering knuckle arm (where the bottom of the strut joins on), the spacing on the ta22 arm is 85mm while the ra60 seems to be 90mm,
is this right? and does anyone know what arms i need to use?
i was hoping i could just pick up some ra60 arms ?
cheers
Rowan

I had to get custom arms made up - although it didn't cost all that much (liek $40 each).. then get some adjustable camber pins at the same time (that attach the arm to the cross member) to get a decent alignment..

Longer arms are going to give you other problems, such as wheel clearance. On top of this you'll find the RA60 struts are too long for a TA22. I avoided all of this by installing the RA60 hubs/rotors/calipers on an RA23 strut; this involves a bit of metal fabrication work but at least you don't screw around with the suspension geometry.
All the info you need is here:

I am about to install some RA65 struts into my TA22, apparently the RA65 knucle arm fits. It should bolt straight up to the strut.
