    $200 seems very cheap??

    I have some K-Mac spherical top mounts which adjust both camber and castor if you're interested?

        No they are just top mounts like in the D2 pic
        But instead of just having a few settings for castor, it's a spherical ball within a plate which is infinately variable, and castor can be adjusted while they are on the car. The D2's there seem you'd need to take them out to adjust castor

        As far as price, just give me an offer. Their RRP are like 580 but I am not looking at anything close to that. They're brand new in original unopened packaging



        Also, for the purple colour of the D2's, I think it's nice!
        And you shouldn't just paint them, they need to be anodized (like a staining)

        $200 for the Cusco seems about in my budget, I don't want to spend too much on another product that does the same sort of thing.

        Do they fit onto the fto?? if they do i'll take it. Do you have the back set too?

        I'm doing a full suspension overhaul, following bennoz's guide.

        Yeah they fit FTO, Lancer, Mirage and possibly Evo 4-6 but unsure of that one

        No back set. You don't really need a back set as it is a multi link suspension setup and moving the shock top around does nothing in the way of alignment. The only reason you would want one is they have less "give" in them
        However I've pulled apart my stock suspension and it seems very tough from factory
