shimming the standard suspension is enough depending on how low you go and what wheels you put on

This is why I'm surprised there is no custom options out there! 🤣

 depending on how low you go and what wheels you put on

 

I want to be able to adjust it all, freely and without restriction! Like most jap cars.

You wanna drive on the street? cool, bit of adjustment and you're good.

Wanna get all stancey? also cool, bit of adjustment and you're good.

Drags, Roll racing? cool, bit of adjustment and you're good.

 

See where I'm going with this 😝

 

All I can adjust is my suspension a bit of toe, I want to be able to control everything else like camber and caste, and I want to be able to do freely 

 

I can't be the only person out there that wants this for their falcon

You can get plenty of camber from an adjustable lower control arm, so you don't really need the upper arm to also be adjustable. Caster isn't really that useful to change anyway.

Are you referring to the front or rear? I wasn't aware of any adjustable lower arms for the front or back

[k31th]

Front, obviously... your link literally has adjustable front LCA's.

 

Rear camber is a whole other thing that can be a fair bit easier to shim than the fronts due to the IRS setup of a trailing arm mount, I believe.

I'ma be honest, I have absolutely no idea what you are referring to 🤣🤣

I've had the front lca's replaced with superpro ones, they didn't have any adjustment in them whatsoever.... Or do you mean where they bolt up, there's adjustment there??

 

I know you can get adjustable upper arms for the rear of sedans which is nice, they are on the cards for the rig in the future when I do the rest of the bushes in the rear. I'd say 3/4 of the bushes in my car have been replaced with superpro variants. All I got left is rear upper and lower arms, and front and rear sway bar bushes/links.  

 

EDIT:

I've just seen these kmac adjustable front lca bush for the front lca, but they are defs not factory

if you can see threads and nuts on the mount points of the arms, it's adjustable, generally.
