    Default how hard would it be...

    ...to make your own ncrca's? was looking at a thread on another forum and a dude with rt142 looks like (i could be wrong though) he has made his own rca's. if i went to a machining shop could they do it for me? if i took them the strut. anyone know of anywhere on the sunny coast.
    just curious.
    thanks

    any reason u want NRCA's?
    more camber? go longer LCA or ADJ LCA
    that block looks rank as IMO.

    NRCA ads another shear point in the system.
    QUote - "apparently it makes the car feel a bit wak" aka strange handeling

    i was looking at using NRCA's just to get more clearance from the LCA in doing my brake conversion... but decided to to up another track.. much better

    i see u have AJPS as your Sig... ask Lawson y he doesnt sell them anymore

    I can see it being easier and cheaper to just buy some.

    i say go for it, have a go, at least get some quotes to compare it with.

    like that guy has made its only a piece of alloy with 4 holts drilled in it.

    your best would be to draw it all up nice and proper in auto cad. with exactly what you want. though it might cost you a fair bit since you are only getting one thing made. but its a very simple item so you never know might be cheap.

    what are they worth to buy anyway? like $200?

    Ahh its not that simple, you need to get steel locators made up, correct tensile, length, and thread bolts, springs washers, etc.

    RCA's are a bandaid solution.

    The easiest way to a wider track is wider wheels.



    What wheels are you running?

    i thought the whole main point of RCA was to correct the low roll centre point to increase handling etc?

    NRCA's are crap, they stuff up your scrub radius. Just run lower ocntrol arms and camber tops wound out for wider track

    Thats soo nasty...

    Just Either buy some or run longer LCA's...

    Much better than haveing your wheels floping around by itself when something breaks..
