Shortening AE86 lateral link...

[jondee86]

If an AE86 is 50 (+/-) down from stock, does anyone know how much
you have to shorten the lateral link to get the back axle centred ??

I'm planning to use a press to put a kink in the bar near one end to
shorten it up. Knowing how much shorter it needs to be will save me a
heap of trial fitting and measuring

No need to be half assed bout it- either buy an adjustable one or have someone modify your existing one to make it adjustable- youre in wellington i see so hit up grotty(hayden ) at import enhancements

Put a bend it?... what's the point? you going to break it in no time... else just lend it to Will Cook, he will bend them for you ... with his DX

[johntramp]

its just trigonometry. weren't you at school that day?

If you bend it... it WILL break! Bags not to be you when it does break 1/2 way around that really cool corner where you can hold heaps of speed if you've done it a few times...

thats made differently then the stock one. its been heat treated to stay. and is much thicker then stock.

you could get your one heated and cooled by a spring shop to make it keep.
