80 series Radius arms or Castor plates

Post by grub_80 »

G'day all,

Im after a bit of advice as to which is the way to go. New 5deg radius arms or to fit caster plates. I have a 5" lift in an 80 series with 3 deg bushes, but im thinking of fitting one of the above. Radius arms im sure are better but at $1200 are very exe. Is the extra $1000 really woth it in handling benefits.

Thanks
Dave

I have castor plates and don't like em. Not enough correction and having a shit of a time with the front drive shaft.

I'd go with the radius arm flip, or new arms.

you can't get the castor right with plates, as the radius will hit the drag link
you need to get the thirds arms or go the radius arm flip. :lol:
