What drawbacks do you see with this design? I am asking as I am not an expert and have limited knowledge with chassis bracing.
I was referring to the image of the lower A-arms with adjustable camber that were posted. I don't like how it seems to deal with lateral forces. I wasn't talking about the braces.
Those control arms are simply an idea that someone referenced. I agree they need a little beef and better fasteners but they get the job done and camber would be fully adjustable. Anyone can set camber with a level and a straight edge...

Kind of takes the place of a cage if you think about it, but while a cage serves as a safety function as well.
I respectfully, completely disagree.
I'll let you argue that with someone that knows more about suspension than me. I'm a born and bred drag racer but I can build w/e you guys want.

If I were okay with camber plates, I'd not be asking for these lower arms.
However, the sliding joints on camber plates take a miniscule fraction of the lateral loads that the lower arms do. So my issues with camber plates aside, I'm fine with a sliding joint up top.
Now that NISsport is out of business, how about a knock off of the oil pressure adapter? Guys are already looking for them and anyone willing to sell is asking more than new for them.
For that matter the b13 tranny socket is larger than 1/2" and the socket used to tighten down kyb adjustable shocks, it bugs me I don't know the tq on my shocks
