I extended my stanza TCA's 10mm (to NISMO rally specification) and still have about 0.5-1 degree pos camber at stock ride height.
Just guessing but I'd say you'd have around 3 degrees neg camber with the 200B jobbies. *And one bad-ass looking front end* (not that it is important or anything!) 2.5 deg. is probably ideal for a quick street car. You can use the 180B offset strut tops to take away a bit of neg camber if you have too much. You'd think that by 2002 all the necessary research on modifying Stanza's would have been done :) Nick > > From: "Ross Goddard" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Subject: RE: Crossmember swap > Date: 07/05/2002 12:44:43 > To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > > I have the Torana Castor rods, however the 200B arms looked to too long for the >Stanza requirements.

I have the Torana Castor rods, however the 200B arms looked to too long for the Stanza requirements. How much neg camber will 40mm extra length give you?

<<File: reply>>
Sounds like a nice idea!
And the LCA's balljoints will bolt up nicely to an R31 vented strut setup (with different springs and seats).
Can you fit the 300ZX 4 piston calipers on the standard strut or only the R31-GTS?
I thought the Gazelle was power steering?
BTW, I considered 200B LCA's for my Stanza.
Since the inner end is so narrow in the 200B LCA you can shim it forward or backward to give some decent castor and still keep the arm perpendicular to the pivot bolt.
Only problem I had was that the Stanza toe-control arms did not bolt in to the 200B LCA's.
If you have the time to get Torana toe-control arms or modify the 200B LCA's I think it could be a good swap.
We all know how much Datto's need some castor!
