If all goes to plan the price is going to be about £60 more expensive than Sbody. You will need Sbody front wheel bearings. They are still working on the jigs, as we cannot have any mistakes with them. We hope to have the first batch in about 3 weeks now, but there's no guarantee's at the moment unfortunately.
do you prefer running these to the s body conversion you had on the r32? can you give any sort of comparison?

For those of you that are subscribed to this thread, we've just released the first 20 sets for sale here http://www.driftworks.com/forum/driftworks-shop/209460-r-body-geomasters-here.html
Do you have any set up guide lines for the front end on the R body? caster/camber etc? My knuckles would land in my box on thursday but it would be good to have some tips on a basic set up or do you run them similar to the S body set ups?
As always, offering set up advice is difficult. I can only tell you how we've set out car up, but depending on many factors like lower arm length, wheel size and offset, tyre size, and clearance in your arches, you may not be able to get the same set up. We have around 4* negative camber, and set the castor quite low (we don't have a figure as it is set to maximise steering lock primarily). The low castor angle means the wheel is quite far back in the arch, and we've had to massage the inner arches (hammer them lots ). We've found the the offset rack spacers make a big difference, and I now genuinely feel that our R32 is one of the best steering drift cars I've ever driven. It is very very important to make sure you have full clearance in your arches, as at high angle any small contact between tyre and metal is like putting the brakes on on that wheel, and makes the car feel very unstable.
