For the record, there is a JDM one available.

Last I checked, they were about $10K with core exchange.

Thx Brian for the info.

Hopefully this effort will pay off and the shop will fabricate a nice fix for us.

I really wish these Japanese sites would have en english form as well. I have been to so many Japanese sites and saw something that I wanted to order but had no idea what the price was or even what the description of the product was

I remember how easy all of this was when I had a G35. There is a TON of parts for that car.

In the end if someone made them and tried to charge $1000 for a set It would be worth it when you consider the price of a new set of tires. 10k is a total joke

it's actually 13k, last time i ran it through a yen > dollar conversion :P

i think there are a few factors: 1. the sheer number of adjustable links required on this car (the rear has like 5 links) and 2. this is a complete upgrade for almost every multilink piece in the car, and the $13k price quoted includes a shortened knuckle which allows you to lower the car without having to cut holes into the engine bay for upper a-arm clearance. it's a pretty comprehensive setup, imo

so it looks like about 20 people so far, guess I wil wait for another few days to see how many more LS folks sign up..

just looking at the suspension, is there any way a shim or some other type of basic spacer on a section of the suspension that could be utilized to just change the angle enough..it may not be adjustable, but at least get it closer without a whole re-engineering of the suspension. I know, kind of sounds bootleg when I say it that way, but sometimes a simple solution is needed and can still be safe and effective..just brainstorming..don't taze me bro lol
