Looks like the Suspension Technique's drop fork or whatever they call it.

Camber, but why not get a upper instead?

Seems the upper would be cheaper and less, chance for failure in extreme conditions.

And yes I see its a drop LCA, so it would lower the rear a little too, but other than that?

caster is only set on the front..usually cant be adjusted..ive heard of switching front upper a-arms to change caster...more caster..more stabilty..harder to turn...
think of those harley choppers..every see one turn? me either..to much damn caster...
those sus. tech. used to have a problem with cracking..any body know if it has been fixed?

The Suspension Techniques are used primarily for people who don't want the harshness nor the uneven tire wear associated with lowering their cars by changing springs. That is why they are V-shaped and adjustable.

Yup, primary company is SRR, and Top Fuel sells them in Japan. I've had them in for about 1/2yr now without any problems. The color is solid purple; looks cool, functions better than stock due to upgrade hard bushings.

The color is a love and hate relationship... attracts too much attention IMO
