These arm are a negative camber solution, not a positive one. There is no additional room in the UCA to remove camber...its a tight silhouette of the control arm.

FIGS do you have an ETA on your solution for front camber correction?

note, see my above statement about correction. My arms will not be able to do much with camber by pushing out the top. No room.

Has anyone measured the taper on the IS300 vs. IS350 ball joints? I may have a set of IS300's laying around. I'll try to get them measured this week.
I'm having this same debate right now. Hopefully someone will step in and help us ISx50 owners out.

I have measured them and they are different per my previous post. I was mostly curious as to how there were no issues with this brought up.

I got the SPC ball joints this week and want to install today but have a couple of questions. Does anyone know the torque specs for the upper control arm? I know it needs to be removed to remove old ball joint but cant find the torque specs to reinsall. Also, how about the torque specs for the nut on the ball joint with the cotter pin? Thanks

Johnny, I'm sorry I haven't responded. I'v been very busy and don't check in this forum that often. In between work, taking care of the family and working on the JZA80, I don't have time for sleep much less surf the net.

If you need to get ahold of me you can reach me on my email in my sig. I'll can send you my number via email if you need to contact me.

I would just hesistate to use a mis adapted ball joint as its a critical item.
Mike, I would really like to get ahold of you to have a set of front LCAs made for the JZA80. I know for a fact that they will sell very well. The front LCAs on the JZA80 and JZZ30/UZZ30 are very heavy and switching to a lighter set will help out significantly. I like the attention to detail you've put into your fabrication and can't seem to find anyone who can build these arms any better that you can. I also like the fact that you've noticed the front upper ball joint taper being different between the E10 and E20 IS chassis. If you can please email me when you get a chance. My email is in my sig.

TIA
-Joe
