    Default good lower control arms for - camber to suit ta22?

    hey guys im thinking about getting some new lower control arms for my ta22. Im looking to get abit of (-) camber on the wheels for abit more control and handling. Not looking for something over the top though but decent.

    What ones would you recommend for everyday driving, in particular for a ta22. Im also thinking about getting on some fat wheels and lowering the car later on aswell.

    Will xt130 corona arms fit? what are your suggestions?

    Cheers

    The xt130 struts as used in the brake/coilover conversion provide a nice increase in camber.

    you sure about that one leeroy? i havn't measured the strut inclination angle myself but cant see it being much different.

    the XT130 LCAs should be about 10mm longer from bush to balljoint which should give an extra degree or so but id need to measure a factory ta22 one first.

    cheers

    Magna apparently does the trick. I will check with my bud, who has just fitted a set of Magna LCA's. Will advise magna model, and degree of camber change.

    cheers Chuck.

    hey thanks chuck that would be great! apparently the sigma LCA's give alot of camber and are recomended for track use aswell. I was told they'll fit RA23 Toyota Celica and XT130/RT132 Toyota Corona but not too sure about TA22's.

    If you could find out that would be great. Thanks

    I did this a while back:
    http://www.toymods.net/forums/showthread.php?t=13452

    Its the first link int he similar threads box below.

    Most certainly 10mm difference.

    Sigma will fit TA22, but are WAY too big, would be like -4deg.

    What about using some T3 Neg Camber RCA's here: http://www.technotoytuning.com/productdetail.php?p=622

    They also make them for ta22 but are not listed as being neg camber ones.

    I'm pretty sure the use of those is illegal but if that doesnt phase you then they are the perfect solution albeit a bit more expensive than getting some arms from a wrecker.

    another option is to get your struts bent, the bonus is that you will have equal camber left and right.

    How will you not have equal camber left and right by just changing lower control arms?

    Bad luck?

    I know you said control arms but what about some adjustable camber tops?
