pay attention to this shit it is rediculous

They way they work is by massively shortening the steering arm of the knuckle, which along with allowing the tie-rod to pull the 16×8-inch 205-tyred wheels much further around into the wheel well, alters the steering’s Ackermann geometry which allows the car to roll through the corner with less drag.

The lower arm is from Ikeya Formula, with the steering stoppers removed. The tie rod is also Ikeya Formula, with 6.5mm rack spacers. This, combined with setting the rear tyres at a low 26psi to stop the car spinning out, allows Takurou to flick the 180SX out as hard as possible, with as much angle as possible, and hold the accelerator flat through the corner.

Sean Love was talking about this like 100 years ago. Literally at least 4 or 5 years. And idk who made it, but Harri has had a jig for like 2 years now to do this. 1st car was Tim's iirc.

i too has on my s14.
 
knuckle mod had been around, but not this extreme....hence why I posted. Makes 3up look like stock specs
 
basically Sean has done this to his bimmer's spindles but problem is his car doesnt have enough clearance in the wheel well to use all of it. still working on that part, might be BFH time
