    Default RT142 adjustable camber tops??

    Hey guys

    Im looking for some adjustable camper tops for my 86 RT142 corona sedan. Its got standard struts in it with AJPS custom 8kg springs. Just wondering if anyone on here knows where you can get camber tops for not too much money.

    Cheers, Brad

    Toyshop engineering in NZ.

    Contact him via facebook, tell him you need them for TT141 (which is the same as RT142 / ST141 / XT130 / RA60 / RA65)

    I think my pair was $250 shipped.

    How about the HSD universal camber tops? These can be made to fit almost anything.

    a cheaper option is s13 gear, the camber tops are fine for 2 of the studs, but one has to be filed out by like 0.5mm. Done it a couple of times without issue.
    The issue with camber tops on these cars is that the spring top hat and the tower itself are very close in size and you can get a max of 1-1.5' camber before it hits.

    +1 for s13 camber tops I've got them in my xt130 struts on my ra23.

    +1 for the toyshop engineering ones, they work perfectly with the t3 needle bearing upper hat (unlike t3 or cusco) I'm very happy with them

    cheers guys this gives me a few more options to look at.

    Also is there any way to get more camber with the standard struts without to much messing around?

    Cheers,. Brad

    longer lcas, xt130 are direct bolt in, mx73 or any of the cressidas are longer was running them for a while, only problem with the cressy lca is that they use a bigger ball joint (bj212) which necessitates using mx73 steering knuckles, rack ends and tie rod ends, you could however get a sleeve made up and run the correct ball joint for the corona steering arms (bj145)
