Doing some quick trigonometry shows 2 degrees of positive, if not more. This is compared to stock LCA, so 2 degrees of positive camber from a stock LCA.

I don't remember which shipping method FT86SpeedFactory uses but I have found the shipping to be quite reasonable to Australia. This involves emailing FT86SpeedFactory for a quote because the online freight quote is only good for U.S/Canada.

Well, I have some bad news and some good news.
Bad news: The saga continues with these LCAs. Went to order the material we had picked out for the LCA itself and the company who carries this is out till mid-October. Called Alcoa directly, of course couldn't get through to anyone. Awesome! Good news: I went out searching for 7075-T6 and found some within our budget and am purchasing that instead. You will now have a LCA that is *substantially* stronger than the tested units. Previous material had a yield strength of 46 to 53 ksi. 7075-T6 yield strength is 54-67 ksi. We are doing this at no extra cost. TL;DR: Changed material to a stronger, more commonly used material due to availability issues. We are shooting to have the production run finished around early November and will update if plans deviate much from that. |

If applicable, I'll be doing this to my set since a company is somewhat local to me (and it'll curb my ocd anxiety).

I know there is a lot of information and proof that Cryo treating works but I am not sold on the process. No forms of racing I have been involved in uses the process to my knowledge and transmissions that are cryo treated still end up breaking at the same levels stock transmissions break at. I'm sure it makes a difference, but not enough for me to seriously consider it for a product. |

We have a worthy update, parts are in! Headed off to anodizing as I type this! I want to thank all of you for your patience, I understand we are overdue on these and I apologize for that. It was circumstances out of my control but that doesn't change the fact I feel responsible.
Here's a quick picture from Instagram: I will upload better pictures tonight. I will do my best to get them out before the new year but with the holidays upon us I have no idea how hard I can press the anodizing and laser etching companies, then factor in shipping will be delayed.... I will do my best though. |

I have absolutely no need for these.
But I still might get them because of how sexy they are. |

I read through the thread. Learned a bit too!
Are those ones produced only for the group buy or is there a way to buy a set currently? |
