Description
GKtech V2 High Clearance Front Lower Control Arms (Flca)
The GKTECH V2 High Clearance LCA's are designed as a direct replacement for an OEM style LCA but with adjustment and loads of tie rod clearance!
Our Budget LCA's are great for someone that already has tension rods or wants tension rods as a separate piece. Even with the addition of our V4 high clearance tension rods, the cost of going this route is around 25% cheaper.
The arms offer 25mm of adjustment, will support 70+ degrees of steering lock, you can still run an OEM style swaybar and a lock stop has also been incorporated into the design.
They are also based on CMM data, are CAD designed, FEA tested, have CNC machined ends and the main body is laser cut and CNC machined 16mm thick chromoly steel for maximum strength. To finish the arms off they're E-coated (aka electrophoresis coating) for rust prevention and we're exclusively using Teflon lined bearings with dust covers for increased longevity.
- Direct replacement of the OEM FLCA
- Feature 5/8" Teflon lined sphericals (inner) which eliminates the flex found in factory rubber bushing offering a more direct and predictable feel.
- Laser cut and CNC machined from 16mm thick 4130 Chromoly sheet.
- CMM measured, CAD designed, FEA tested and CNC machined.
- Choose between 3 different lengths;
0 > +25mm
+20 > +45mm
+40 > +65mm
NOTE #1: The 0> +25mm are based off S13 lower control arms, meaning at their shortest they are OEM length and adjust to +25mm from OEM, if you are fitting these on an S14/S15 the specs will be -9mm > +16mm from OEM.
The +20 > +45mm or the +40 > +65mm are based off S14/S15 lower control arms, so if you are running these on an S13 they will be 9mm longer.
NOTE #2: All the lca's have the tension rod in OEM position, to counteract the 25mm adjustment for each length of LCA one of the mounting holes has been elongated.
NOTE #3: Due to the increased thickness of the lower control arms the OEM tension rods will require a longer bolt which is not supplied.

An OEM style ball joint is to be used, you can either use your original ball joint or purchase new ones which we do sell.
Non extended ball joint or +20mm?
We have both OEM style (non extended) ball joints available and we have a +20mm version available which is 20mm longer than the OEM shank and aids in roll center correction for lowered cars. If you are running aftermarket drop knuckles (like we sell), our bolt on Roll Center correction kit the extended ball joint shanks are not necessary. If you are using these LCA's in a Skylne, do not use the extended ball joints as the rotor will foul the LCA when raised and it raises the upper arm which is detrimental to handling.
