You can get adjustable lower control arms from Racing Beat. www.re-speed.com has a rack and pinion conversion kit. It's very well made and is the next major purchase on my list.

I believe that Re-speed may still be in the works of designing one ... you'll need to contact him to maybe see what he's up to.

A lot more work for a cobbled up finished product. The amount of research and

design work that has gone into the Respeed R&P is simply amazing. Lighter weight

than the original, additional adjustment options, and a bunch of other things.



In regards to the adjustable A-arms; are you looking at these for camber adjustment?

In my opinion, camber plates are a much better option. You don't have to crawl under the car

to make changes, and the changes you do make will have less effect on the alignement (changes

made with the adjustable A-arms will also change toe settings).



You can find camber plates, coilovers, shocks/struts, hollow swaybars, and just about everything

else over at www.re-speed.com Great guys to deal with too!
