V2 240sx/Skyline front Super Lock Lower Control Arms (FLCA's)

FAQs

What's so good about these LCA's?
The GKTECH Super Lock LCA's are unique in that they are the only 1 piece high clearance LCA on the market that is able to be used with an OEM or OEM based knuckle.

As shown in the render above of the tire sitting over where the tension rod would typically go a regular 2 piece LCA and tension rod can not achieve as much clearance as a 1 piece design can which is the reason we opted for the V2 being a 1 piece design.

The 1 piece design is more expensive to manufacture however the benefits lie in the increase in tire clearance, the decrease in overall weight and the increase in stiffness over a 2 piece design. Other brands make a 1 piece LCA similar in style to ours however neither can be used with an OEM or OEM based knuckle.

A few other points:
- Our design is the only 1 piece design that can be used with a swaybar (like our high clearance swaybar seen here: https://us.gktech.com/s-chassis-high-clearance-adjustable-swaybar-241
- Other brands can not be adjusted while on the car, ours can.
- Our LCA's come in 2 different length options ranging from OEM length through to +2.55" (65mm).
- Other brands have ball joints sitting on a completely horizontal axis which increase the scrub radius and reduces the inside guard clearance. Our scrub radius has not been altered from the factory position and as such our kit has more inside guard clearance than other brands at the same LCA length.

How much angle can I get out of these LCA's?
Our Super Lock LCA's can support 70 degrees of lock even at as little as +1.18'' (30mm) in LCA length. A 2 piece LCA would require you to go +1.96'' (50mm) or more in order to achieve the same amount of steering lock.

How hard are these to fit?
They are quite easy to install but mechanical knowledge is required. Remove your standard LCA's and tension rods and the LCA's will bolt straight in. 

Which model should I purchase for my car?
The type of LCA (S13 240sx/R32/Z32 Vs S14/S15/R33/R34 is entirely dependent on the chassis of your car as the tension rod position is different. You must select based on your chassis. Select the ball joint based on the knuckles that you are running. 

What length should I go with?
This is entirely dependent on your personal preference and your car, however, going to the longer LCA's will almost guarantee that you will need to run over fenders or wider guards. 

What happens if a bearing needs to be replaced?
We will keep stock of the bearings and the bearings that we have used are common sizes being 5/8" Teflon lined sphericals (inner) and high misalignment 3/4 sphericals (outer).

Are these suited to circuit/grip racing?
Yes, absolutely. The weight saving and the use of spherical bearings do make them entirely useful for circuit/grip racing. Coupled with the additional adjustment to increase track width or just to adjust the position of your wheel. 

Do I need to do any other modifications to get the most from these LCA's?
Yes, absolutely. On their own these LCA's aren't much use. Ideally, you would be running our offset rack spacers or have a relocated steering rack and have either aftermarket knuckles (like the ones we sell) or have cut and shut knuckles. If you plan to go any further out with the LCA than around +1.57'' (40mm) you may need to look at using our offset strut tops (S chassis only) to bring your camber to a more usable level.

Are there any special tools required?
No, a spanner set will do the job which we do sell separately here - Double open ended wrenches
