FIGS Engineering Lower Control Arm Camber Adjustment Interest

Hey guys since we have front camber problem issues, esp the slammed static/bagged guys. And the spc arm aint cutting it because it hits top of the fender and you also loose suspension. I got in contact with Figs engineering. To design a lower control arm with camber adjustments and possibly lower the car another inch. So you dont have to buttom out on your bumpstops either. He said if I can gauge enough interest he will start designing. Here is a sample of his lower control arm for a IS-F. What you guys think?

Pricing I am not sure of right now. But we need around ten people to make this happen. So far from here and V36 Sedan Drivers facebook page we got 6 people.

this is extremely interesting!
our (and the 370z) lower front control arm is kinda funky compared to the older generation of the Gs/Zs. i would be extremely interested if:
- he is able to somehow make box4 in this picture adjustable
- big (+) and you definitely have my money if you are able to make it caster adjustable as well. however, im not too sure on that; previous models of the SPL upper control arms did the trick by allowing the arm ends to be threaded.

Actually, looking at the products available through the website, it seems huwee may be correct.

All the parts available that I am seeing are rear lower suspension arms. 07IMLG, are you asking them about front lower control arms or rear ones? Have they ever produced a front LCA design? I don't see any on their site and the one you linked to is for the rear.

My ideal best solution would be a drop spindle, or knuckle in our case.

Beltech has been making them for 30 + years for american cars, someone needs to develop that for imports.
NO geometry changes.

The quality does indeed look good. Can you link to a set of front LCA that they make that's on their site? Maybe I'm just missing them.
