I'm brainstorming the production longer front control arms for the auto-x Z.
There are three options at the table and MY point of view on them.
Later model Z31 control arms = -.5 degrees camber. Already installed.
OR
Cut and lengthen the original control arms by "X" millimeters = -X degrees camber. Going to do it just for shits and giggles.
OR
Use hardware to make adj. control arms = -X degress camber. Still on the back burner.
I see an issue already when you lengthen the control arm at or near the pivot point. The studs that secure the tension rod to the control arm will not line up with the holes in the control arm once the control arm has been extended "X" milimeters. Also, the bolt for the sway bar bushings will start to gain an angle. This leads me to believe that the later model Z31 control arms are extended at the point closets to the ball joint, past the spot where the tension rod and sway bar bolts secures itself to it.
Any input?
