I have a 81 fb or sa22 what ever...anyways, I'm wanting to make it a drifter
I'm getting gc coil overs, camber plates, a rack and pinion conversion,
4 to 5 lug spacers but I'm wondering what I can do to my steering to get better angle?and how much angle can you get w/ the 1st gen? is it possible?


*Driftlanta do you have any tips...

i had would stay away from the cp rack and pinion. It sucked!! I through it away, it had maybe 30* of angle.

Your best bet for cheap is run the stock stuff, but space the wheels out w/ either wheel spacers and long wheel studs or offset wheels below 20mm. Take your steering stops out of the knuckle and through them away. Your stoping point will be your wheels rubbing the frame. Make sure you dont have any bolts that the wheels can catch in the wheel well area. I roughly have 40* steering w/ 30mm offset wheels. I need some spacers made for the front to get me atleast another 5* degrees of steering

If you are going gc coilovers then you will need to trim your strut tower tops to allow max caster angle. You should be able to get 6-6.5* caster from this setup. U can also adjust your tension rod to get more caster. Go as far as you can leaving only 1/8 of space between the control arm and the cross member. This wheel help alot with being quick on the wheel.
