Not too bad for the money.

Paid $200 for a cheap set for my sky.line.

Those look a lot better.

I will see if I can get a better price for a GB.
BUT the big thing is to see if they fit and work on the FTO's befor any one gets them :roll:

Very interested...

Btw, I noticed Ben called them trailing arms, but aren't they bottom arms?

My facelift GPX already has these arms on it. My car was stock as a rock when I bought it, and they certainly don't look anywhere near new so I'd say it's pretty much guaranteed they've been on there since manufacture.

Ok so i'll be putting BC BRgold coilovers on the fto soon, just a quick question, i was looking at having -1 camber front and rear. now is that setting ok ? plus i might want/need some tips on what else to do or how ever else to setup the coilovers here and there..

The car's dominant use is in the streets with rare tracking fiy...

Post a review to show how good these are :P
These rock.
Absorbs bumps very nice and the grip is very nice even before a wheel alignment.
Car hasnt met corners like that until it met me ;)

Hope you are happy with them.
Making Mitsus fast is fun.

Did you get an alignment yet?
The alignment place I referred you to is real good but if its too far make sure you can confirm the alignment specs on paper printout or the machine display.

I'm running the BC BR series coilovers on my FTO at the moment. I'm loving them. They're being used them in conjunction with a set of front and rear Cusco strut braces and Mitsubishi GTO front brakes. I have had a basic wheel alignment performed at Bridgestone, however I'm yet to take it anywhere to dial in any serious camber or toe in to see the cars true handling potential.

Or maybe it has, with me, only i have never experienced it passenger-perspective-wise until that day ... you're a good driver man , rev matching and heel toeing was excellent;)

Ok Im running them with front and rear bracing incl good 17inch rubber

Currently have -2 degree camber front with -1mm toe out
-1 degree rear with 0 toe

I do have extra castor bushes in control arms too with damper set to 20 all round when hard driving but for usual city running have them set to 5

Would not reccomend my settings for daily driving though and would give less front camber and 1mm toe in

Find them not too harsh if set to softer levels but can be very bouncy when set harder

also with current setup tends to follow any change in road surface but would reccomend them 100%.

I have changed spring length slightly so to not be so tightly bound for little extra comfort and travel
