Wonder if they have anything like this for r34. I have extra lock spacers but would love a fair bit more lock than I currently have

[Reese69]

_{yeah and with all the talk or modifying knucles and things - surly something like this would be easier}

its very expensive and personally I would not go that route, I use JDI knuckles in my r33 drift car and they will only cost about 220 if u supply ur own knuckles for them to modified and they are very strong not one has broken to date or if you dont want to go down the cut shut path you can buy the driftworks knuckles for r33 which is basically a full steel knuckle but again proce is aorund 6-700 mark but atleast its a full knuckle not a bolt on kit.

My friend is using them up here in darwin on his 32 drift car (the one that is in the photos of garage 7's page).

He has no issues with them yet, and get some serious angle.

If you want i can out you in touch with him

Its expensive cause its all made from quality gear. Keep in mind that you get new tie rods and ends with it. It increases your track and camber also as well as increasing lock and improving roll Centre. So you can't compare them to cut and shuts.

I've driven the development car with these knuckles and its unreal also

Hi there , This setup seems quite expensive , and also i think it may adjust the suspension geometry of the car , im not sure if that would make it better or worse to drive though... it seems that there may be slight steering bind at full lock too. another way to go about it is the cut n welded knuckles. for my C33 i got my knuckles cut and welded with the correct settings for the aikerman angle i wanted , and also got them crack tested. so far they seem great , a few other mods to get more lock are , Longer rack ends , Steering rack moved fowards , extended steering shaft with solid bush (for better feel through the steering) and extended LCA's. there is slight bind on full lock but nothing to durastic. on r32's you should extend your LCA's 15mm so that when you are on lock (or close to it) your wheel with weight on it has more contact with the tarmac. hope this helps
