I noticed when doing my alignment for the last drift event my steering knuckle and control arm had what appeared to be bumpstops on them. Can I remove these for a bit more steering angle?

 

more? usually angle is not the problem its the snap oversteer and the amount of turns lock to lock. fb's have quite a lot of angle stock.

 

not enough angle though :P

 

It may be useful to remove the stops, at some point the tire will start to rub the sway bar so it may not be much of an increase. Depends on the width of the tires and the offset of your wheels. check and see how much space is between the tire and sway bar to see how much increase you may get. I do not know how much further the stock steering box will turn, it may not go much further so that should also be considered.

 

+1 a stock GSL-SE wheel and tire rub the swaybar, so while you may be able to change the steering stop a little, that's not the limitation

 

seems a front wheel with more positive offset is needed to take advantage of this modification

 

This is assuming you have more angle available on the steering box. Just like rack and pinion, there is likely a stop within the box that will limit your steering.

 

Correction on my part, i ment to say Negative offset, you want the wheel to stick out more.

yes this is true, but then you could always modify (shorten) the knuckle to get more angle

 

More caster?

 

I agree with this. In my experience, power steering is a HUGE help if you dont already have it. A smaller steering wheel would be nice too..

 

Hey if you can it helped me out ALOT!!!! for my 84 gsl-se look into the RE-Speed rack and pinion steering conversion.

 

Or an FC R&P conversion. Less expensive, more work than the RE-speed kit
