No, sorry. I am pretty sure they weigh a bit more than stock.

Thanks. It would have been nice to shave some weight (even by a tiny amount) but I guess it's no biggie.

What I do find a little iffy is the bright gold color of the LCAs - just so ostentatious for what I think should be a low profile part!! No viable alternatives though with Whiteline probably being the only company who can offer replacement parts or accept warranty claims lol

It will bring your motion ratio closer to unity using the outer bolt. This will increase the wheel rate of the spring/shock package. (aka it makes the rear suspension stiffer)

I would guess it makes maybe a 10% change just looking at the relative lengths. Thus you can likely adjust rear stiffness over a 20% range by moving the mounting location. Pretty awesome feature really as it lets you hone in on spring rate without having to buy new springs. Any chance we can get some measurements on them to nail down this adjustment range a little better?

Same goes for the sway bar mount.

Is whiteline releasing a bolt-on ride height sensor or something? Cool feature for the hardcore track guys.

Mike,

I'm booked this weekend as I'm going to the SCCA match tour stop in St George UT, but I'll try to get some measurements next week and post them here.

Do any of you guys running the Whiteline LCAs recommend them over the Cusco? Looking to probably pick these up with my suspension upgrades...

Still no measurements, I lag.

This setup is amazing on AutoX courses. Car feels really good. No issues with any of the camber/toe adjusters coming loose.

Great writeup! @whataboutbob , I'll be putting in the LCAs and rear adjustable toe arms this weekend! What were the torque tightening specs on the castle nut and inner arm nut of the rear adjustable toe arm. I've been looking through the forum and couldn't find any info.

Thank you. Here's the install doc: http://www.whiteline.com.au/docs/ins...ides/Z5263.pdf

Honestly, I just tightened them to feel. I haven't had any issues with them loosening up at all.
