Sorry for the wait. The shortened S12 control arms are 11.5 inches from the center of the control arm bushing to the center of the ball joint.

Thanks for the compliments. defdes, The ebrake handle it self is from an 85 300zx. I did not like how the 280zx one mounted and how the cable was sealed to the trans tunnel. The 300zx has a better seal and mounts to the side of the tunnel which is much cleaner (IMO) when the seats are in. The cable ...
