so that can wait. what about roll-center adjusters, bump steer adjusters, frame collars...?

:blush: Me like!

For the front.
If you want correct roll center, you'll need to do a bit of fabrication work. I'm doing that right now, I might have pictures this week.
For the rear, getting subframe risers will help a bit.

PoweredByMax is making some aftermarket knuckles that raise the hub up and lowers your car without lowering it via teh coilover and messing with your suspension geometry!
That's for some baller ish though...

Do I need to send my knuckles to them, or that is just for the Super Angle Kit? :confused:

For the front, you gotta send in your knuckles.
For the rear, they make em from scratch and you don't need to send yours in.

I think they'll put em up on the website after they do a bit more testing.

These baller knuckles!

They also changed the ackerman angle (i think that's what it's called), so the wheels are more parallel to each other at full lock and that lets you carry out your drift for a longer time since you're not dragging one of the front wheels during full lock.

Its a stock knuckle with new stuff welded onto it? How much do they charge for such a service? Probably way more then it's worth.

$400 for parts and labor for the angle stuff.
$150 if you just want the roll center corrected.

I just looked up "roll center" and the definition confused me.
