Can you still use the EOE or SLR Tierod Adjusters? Looks like the new system includes them, but is not directly linked to the other steering components in the kit.

I don't think the EOE's will work with the CALMINI system.. the way that the CALMINI system works requires longer tie rod adjusters and the EOE ones are for people with standard tie rods.

From this photo, it looks like you can't use the idler arm brace... can you? It looks a bit shorter. confused

Being that my ceterlink is getting pretty worn, I think I will be ordering this setup... can't beat the price... $190 for a stock center link... $75 for a pair of tie rod adjusters... this stuff is CHEAPER than replacing stuff with stock parts...

Gonna put my preorder in soon...

Bingo! Right price point, solves the problem.

Sorry, SLR. Calmini wins another one.

Ian,

I thought you said somewhere that you had broken a couple Moog idler arms and were going back to the Nissan one? If not, I apologize, just checking since this setup uses the Moog arms. It does look really nice and will now be on my list of potential future upgrades. Sadly, my upgrade list is bigger than my paycheck! frown

They ought to include the new brace as part of the Steering System package just for additional reinforcement. Sure the price for the system will increase but for the additional added strength, I feel, it would be worth it.

This system does not use a Moog idler arm.
Moog ball joints are used for the center link however, and good luck breaking one of those.

The idler and pitman arms are CALMINI custom forged parts.

Is CALMINI actually taking pre orders on this? Has anyone talked to them?

OK, cool! I must have misread or misinterpreted soemthing somewhere. Like that never happens! If my centerlink bites it, I will likely be getting this setup. Thanks!

True.. true...

I know that the front LSD is something that Calmini was getting from another supplier and that is why it is not here yet..

I just talked to them, and they said they are shooting for late July to early August to ship them. They said that we can preorder them now if we want. They also said they are going to be getting several hundred of them, so everyone should be able to get one when they come out.
