Default Where can I purchase adjustable upper control arms?

I just got some new wheels 19x11 -4. My quarter panels are already pulled and rolled. The next option is upper rear control arms. Which brand do you used. Do you guys know where I can get them? Where should I get the track and toe links?

So far the the only RUCAs available are ikeya brand which is $$$. Toe arms? Get the figs ones thats what I got. I'm actually fitting 19x11.5 +0s too lol but I don't wanna pull fenders unless last resort lol.



All I need is camber

I'm guessing you're looking for upper arms for the back? I don't think anyone makes them for this car yet. Unless you look at the Nagisa JDM stuff which is going to be like $1000 a pair! Ikeya also make some but the JDM stuff is all $$$. Figs makes the rear lower control arm though.

http://kyoei-usa.com/products.asp?cat=896 There's a list of some of their stuff. Look around the net, I think they do make the rear upper arms.

I can't believe there's no rear adjustable upper control for sale on the market? Theres such a big demand for it. What are other VIP gs people running?

Studio is out of stock. It's a custom made thing so you'll be hard pressed to find them.

If someone is willing to go 50/50 with me in getting an is300 rear upper arm to test fit -- this would open up a whole new world of adjustable parts for us 2gs guys.
