the things that go on the bottom of the front struts to realign steering system after car is lowered,
was wondering if anyone has some good photo's of them and how do they exactly work, i'm thinkin of puttin them on my ae86 as it is pretty low.
my bro said he'l make some up for me and some friends.
cheers

Joel,
Whiteline sell them off the shelf now. (thank me for that)
their units are 25mm high,I run 30mm high units in my car.
best thing you can do to the front of a sprinter,and likely to a lowered celica as well. you'll be amazed by the difference they make. try them once,and I swear you'll tell eveyone to fit a set.
Justin...

Yeah I heard that, and I will thank you for it. Thanks!
Only thing is it's hard for me to pay what they're asking when I work with or near the material & equipment needed to make the things for very little.
I plan on going down there for a wheel alignment & to get things set up a bit better, & I figured if I hadn't made some myself by then I'd prolly just splash out & get some.
I'm actually going out there tomorrow (well, today really) to pick up my strut brace, but I'm getting new tyres soon so I'll wait 'till then before a wheel alignment.
I would prolly prefer a 30mm unit too.....

Maybe there could be a group buy of them? Or if someone can make them up themselves and make some money out of it?

well,if you can do it cheaper than they sell it for,do it.
simple as that.
I have. my RCAs came from NEVO. whiteline originally didn't think they were worth it financially to make after I suggested them,and sent them pics of cusco units. I went and got mine elsewhere,and shortly afterward,they changed their mind,and started making them.
have a look at the adj. upper links while you're there...
also,someone's finally buying a celica strut brace from whiteline from this club?!?! good on you Joel. Wojtek's having come out to the dyno day on his own time(on a sunday!) hasn't been totally wasted now.
he was pretty pissed with this club after that day. he measured up about 20 celicas,and not one of them placed an order.
pretty sad effort I reckon.
later,
Justin...
p.s. as far as group buys go,sweet;but make sure you get deposits first. there's far too much talk and no action around here...

Hi Justin,
where do you get NEVO RCA gear from? as the site:
http://www.nevo.biz/products.html
does not seem to mention them at all!
I must say that whiteline are very good with their customer support as demonstrated here:

Hey, imagine how I felt trying to organise it all, getting a good response from people then missioning to whiteline to get my car measured up, telling Wojtek how many people are interested in one, then spending half the dyno day with Wojtek test fitting every celica we could find. After that I put up a thread to get some orders up & got almost no responses.
So anyway, now that I can preach the joy of a strut brace first hand, I'm gonna see if I can rustle up some interest.
Whiteline is one of those places that once you find, you tend stick with.
We gotta put to them a sponsorship proposal too.
