How is it going guys! Im new here obviously 1st post. I have a problem most will call me dumb but oh well.... So ive researched and I cant find anything at all but... I cut about 1 3/4 inch out of my knuckles on my s13 and the car turns awesome I did vertical welds im not dumb.. anyways ive come into a problem.

There are plenty of set ups for s14 that makes rubbing go away.. but my stock alloys rub on the tension rods and sway bar. I know pbm and other makers make kits for s14 that virtually remove the sway bar and angle the tension rods and flca in one....so is there anything for s13 or am I just superscrewed I should have researched before cutting and hacking my knuckle. so I made a noob mistake and I need some help. what can I do to not rub and get full lock! :ohno:

You can get tension arms that have the offset as linked to above. that will definitely give you some more leeway. Where did you reposition your tie rod mount to? Did you change your ackermann at all? If you moved your ackermann so you have closer to parallel steering like some people do, it could be causing your problem.
