Whiteline KTA124 substitute?


Heffernan

Recommended Posts

So apparently the KTA124 kit by Whiteline is on extended back order until at least the end of September. I'm a little between a rock and a hard place right now. I raised my Outback over the weekend and now the rear toe and camber are a little out of wack, not terrible, but still not within spec.

 

Anyone know of a product that I can buy that gives the same adjustability to both the rear toe and camber like the Whiteline KTA124 kit?

The Whiteline KCA399 eccentric bushing gives you camber adjustment, which may help bring your toe back in line as well. It's a $54 set of bushings that get pressed into the outer position of the upper lateral links. Let me know if you are interested, I have qty.6 in stock.

 

Yeah, I have the KCA399 kit already installed on the car but apparently it doesn't offer enough adjustablility.

 

What about the KTA125 toe kit? It's meant for 08+ WRXs but, correct me if I'm wrong, wouldn't they kit a 05-09 Outback/LGT? I know it will just correct the tow, but I figure the toe is a little more of a concern then the camber in terms of tire wear.

Understood. If you have a better alternative aside from the whiteline kit that has been backordered for what, half a year now, by all means...

Rear suspension is different from 05-09 LGT/OB than the 08+ GRs The 10+ Legacy Platform is very similar to the 08+ GRs.

Well aware of that. Their not my first option but I'm surprised with the lack of options out there.

Megan is garbage, I ordered them 3 months ago and received them damaged, returned them and was shipped another damaged set. Had to bitch and moan with a vender hear to get my money back because the blamed shipping but clearly it was Megans shitty quality control.

Yeah... Looks like Megan is the only other manufacturer of something like this. I've called roughly 20 vendors today looking for KTA124, nothing.

Unless they have it on their shelves, which as we know, all the vendors you find online just dropship to you from the same warehouse that every single vendor gets from, you are only spinning your wheels calling around. I would go onto Whiteline's page and look for some smaller WL Brick and Mortar shops who may actually have a set sitting on the shelf.

 

I called around to a few different manufacturers to see if they have anything but none of them make them currently. :(

 

Sorry about that.

Yeah, I called what I could find when it comes to smaller shops...still no luck. I guess I just need to hold my nose and order the Megan stuff... :mad:

Damn,I guess I'm glad I got mine last fall. I even bent one this past winter and Mike (m sprank) Was able to find me a replacement arm straight from whiteline,the best part was it cost me nothing. Whiteline/Mikes customer service was awesome.

 

They're awesome pieces and Whiteline stands behind their products so if you guys can wait for it its worth it.

I purchased some megan rear lower adjustable control arms. I lowered my outback with legacy suspension. I am using the kca399 kit for camber which works on mine. I had siezed bushing at toe adjustment. Pressed in new bushings but still can get toe in spec. So will let you guys know my opinion on the quality.
