Default T1 Lower Control Arms

I'm thinking about replacing my 01 Z lower control arms with T1 lowers.
I need new ball joints and the inboard bushings could use some freshening too.
Are T1 lowers compatible with stock Z uppers?
Do you have to run the T1 camber space kits or will stock work?

There is really no difference between a stock lower and a T1 lower other than the rubber bushing hardness, so they are fully compatible with an otherwise stock suspension.

Thanks Subdriver! There's still time to sign up for Thunderhill on the 18th and 19th, they've only got about 50 cars entered so there will be lots of track time.

I may end up doing that. It looks like the SCCA has waivered my license and I'll get a renewal next week. If I get it on time I'll go to the SCCA Regional at PIR next weekend for my first race in 2+ years. If not, might consider heading down to Thunderhill and getting some seat time. What group is that with?

It's with the NorCal Shelby Club

www.norcal-saac.org


It's called the Fall Classic Open Track
You want to be in the green group for sure. Hope to see you there.

I have an extra set of lower a-arms with poly bushings. The bushings are new, but I don't know what brand they are since I bought the a-arms with them already installed. It should be just what you need. $400 plus shipping or maybe we could get them delivered to T-Hill by someone going to the trackday? email me at meldog21@yahoo.com if you're interested.

Thanks for the link. I'll let you know middle of next week which way I'm headed. Still waiting to see if my SCCA License renewal plays out.
