My 86 is pretty low. Low enough to break an axle due to its geometry being altered anyway.

It's booked in Monday for the following new parts to be installed;

- Drive Shaft Shop 600hp rated axles

- Racer X Fabrication rear upper control arms. Will be running about 4/5 neg camber.

- Whiteline front camber bolts. One set per wheel.

All parts will allow me to run aggressive camber so I can fit wide and aggressively offset wheels. Having the car stanced is the desired outcome.

For now here are a few random pictures taken from a recent car meet. Will post more photos when I get the car back with new parts installed.

I haven't had any problems. I understand that they are not meant for the track but I bought them just for the drop and daily driving and they are perfect for this. I've installed 3 sets so far (mine, my wife's and a friends) and everyone likes the way they feel. You can still adjust the stiffness with 15 levels of dampening but there is no camber adjustment if that matters to you.

Chances are you will break one, especially if you drive the car hard here and there.

This is my story and what happened to me post #1. It also links you to the replacement axle I bought READ HERE

Not sure if you have seen this build thread but I run a pretty much an identical setup to this guy. Read post #177 & #178 READ HERE

And this is exactly what happened to my axle in post #1 READ HERE

I'd order one sooner rather than later as theres usually a wait to get the replacement part from either Toyota or The Drive Shaft Shop.

Hope that helps.
