    rack spacers and modified steering knuckles would be the cheap option.

    I use C's garage knuckles based in New Zealand with x110 chaser tension rods and castor arms if u don't have big wheels u may get away without the castor arms!��

    Altezza castor arms are the same as jzx110! Lexi break does knuckles that quicken up the steering and use rack spacers aswell. You can extend the lower arm 30mm or so but you will need longer tie rods aswell

    Nope! Altezza arms are the same. Ya it does but not much on its own, there's ofset knuckles you can get too instead of cutting and welding. Well if the lower arm is extended out 30mm the tie rod would want to be about the same but there's direct replacements you can get keep in mind this will add a lot of negitive camber too. Look up pete_the_russian on here he has a project thread, good read
