last i heard rammaudio was working on getting a kit made so you should probly contact him for any info.

boomshakadae

try this https://www.scionlife.com/forums/vie...=asc&&start=25 this is the tread where he said they where looking into making them

No updates, we just could not work on the car much this winter but now getting things going along well. Once a few more things are done I am sending some control arms to have them looked at for bushing fitment, let's hope this works out well!

yeah i'm looking forward to buying a Hocthkis kit and changing those bushings

if you buy the hocthkis rear camber arm's and almost any swaybar they come with the poly bushing's all that would be left is the front arm's and lower rear arm's but at least that would be a start.

The lower arms are a bit of a hassle due to the verticle trailing(front) and leading(rear) bushing design, I am working on some different ideas to deal with them without resorting to spherical steel bushings.

The other ends are horizontal and not a bit deal to take care of, figuratively though.

I have contacted a major manf about doing something about this for our car and we are working on some ideas. For our needs we will probably just build new arms front and rear that would also have the outer ends redesigned with extented ball joints to correct the roll center.

The inner pivot points would have excentric bushings and the training and leading verticle units could be shimmed to correct overly aggressive anti divef and anti squat.

I need a clone to get all this done, still building the turbo and have alot of audio to complete, rewire just about everything under the hood, etc.

i would like the spherical end's except that it would be super rough on anything but the smothist of road's.

boomshakadae

you guys are talking way over my head

raamaudio

Yep, I am tying to figure out how to have spherical ends on the veritcal trailing and leading arms encased in poly to isolate the harsness a bit.

And, seal units for low maintenance.

boomshakadae, it all comes in time if you study it buddy, none of us were born with any of this info

that sound's like a cool design to bad you don't do sale's on this stuff but if you could get another manufacture to make them i am sure people would buy them if they wanted to race or auto x there car's. hey boomshakadae that is a cool boondock's pic

We are just not in that line of business and it takes alot of time and effort to manf something of that nature, do it right, then sit back and only sell a few as they would be costly. Just not a great business model for our cars

yeah i think that is the problem with the tc's right now no matter what some one make's there is not very good sale's in the aftermarket right now. to bad you have to have a honda badge on a car to get good aftermarket sale's and support.
