Shit the bed!! Nice work there

I have been looking into modding my rear knuckles.

The driftworks ones are nice but i canlt afford them and they aren't available yet. When they come out I think they will be about £700 which isn't bad for the time and development that goes into these things.

They alter the spindle height by 35mm on the rear and 50mm on the front.

The sai/kpi has been altered on the front to help keep the wheel upright on full lock.

On the front.

Steering axis inclination or kingpin inclination.

If you project a line from your top pillowball through to the bottom balljoint. Then measure the angle between that line and the face where the wheel mounts. That's your kingpin inclination.

When these are ready, would it be possible to order them with the lower coilover mount dropped a few inches?

first post, new here.
wondering when these things are gonna be out and a ball park price for them.
also, you guys also gonna do rlca's?
i got a spare rear subframe, knuckles, and lca's waiting on the side right now to get new bushings and get powder coated. also got all the links from you guys.
if the reviews on these things are good when they come out, and the price is right, i'll skip on powedercoating my rlca's and knucks and pick these up the same time i order my coilovers and subframe risers.

since they will be drop spindles I wonder why you want to change the relationship of the coilover mount to the other points.

we dont have a date yet on these, have not even completed the prototype or tested them yet and there is no pricing.
yes we want to do lower control arms at some point.

oh i see. maybe i'll just stick to the original plan and do up the ones i got for now, then maybe pick up your goods when the good reviews come around
as for the car, yeah thats mine, but just got rid of it recently and got another completely stock 40. maybe i'll post in the rides section once the new car's progress starts rollin' and include pics of the old ride as well. things are going slow right now cause i gots other shit to spend money on

Just to let you know, I got a bunch of people on Zilvia excited about your rear knuckles:
