On my other car i have all the alloy parts from Wolf and that one ahse a lot less slop in the suspension and wheels.
Now going to try the alloy wheelhubs that are used on the E4JS and hopefully all slop is gone.
If you want those K-Factory parts cheaper then they normally are then use a certain not to mention shop in Hong Kong

Thanks Roy.

Even at the unmentionable shop in Asia (both of them), its still a pricey part. My interest in the KFactory rear hub was the 1.5 deg additional toe. Just wondering if the 1.5deg outboard toe is better than the 1.5deg inboard toe from the suspension arm mount. The outboard toe worked better on my XRay but wondering if that is different on the E4 due to its pillow ball mounts.

As for the second part, that is the only alum. front side rear hinge pin mount available. I find that its awfully expensive for such a small piece of alum. Just wondering if it is all that necessary.

Also, can someone explain the differences in the suspension arms for both front and rear? I noticed that there have been changes. The front arm that I recently got looks different than the ones I originally had on the JS. I'm not sure if they're FS or RS arms but the Wolf site has deferred all front arms to the JS part number. Has all the front arms been consoldated into one part?

About the rear arm, there's the one with the alum. rod in it from the old E4 and the JS all plastic version is there another one? I think I saw one somewhere that said that the alum rod one adds 1.5deg toe. Can someone clarify this?

Again, thanks for all your help.
