1st Gen Celica adjustable control arms

I've got a mix of T3 and instead of using a soild mount, I went with a bushed end

Oooohhh, they look pretty. With mine being a road car I'm not a big fan of having a solid mount. These would be the way I would go too. Did you get these custom made? Does someone supply the adjustable bush end or was that made from scratch too?

In the words of Professor Farnsworth "Good news everyone!"

Not giving up on the idea I spoke to my local Repco dealer who chased up these arms for me. They can supply the AE86 Whiteline trailing arms, custom made with the 14mm crush tubes to suit the Celica for no more than the off the shelf part. Obviously being very pleased witht this deal I ordered them on the spot. I do have to wait for them to be made but I'm in no rush at all. I'm just happy that someone else was on the same page as I was and spoke to the right people.
This is a far cry from the service (or lack there of) that I received when contacting Whiteline.

You probably got Whiteline's Mumbai office. A distributor will always have more pull with getting stuff through a manufacturer than what an end customer will.

And that's exactly why I went to Repco.
Hopefully this helps some others out looking to do the same thing.
