I'm thinking of extending the front lower arms on my 180 instead of buying s14 ones..
So my question is how much longer should i make them if i don't want to exceed 4 degrees camber with the top mounts adjusted nearly fully to the outside?
Or has anyone done this if so did it work ok??

That's not a bad idea lad i'll definitly look into it,

anybody have any idea where i'd get a suitable rose joint to make them adjustable?

Cheers yeah i wasn't sure if they'd be long enough allrite,
That won't be a major issue anyway..

Are the anti-roll bar links and the tension rod not at a bit of a stretch then?
Or do they still bolt up ok?
