Came across this web page, and wow... I love it.

Lesse...most of those companies are in Japan.
No real help to most of us USA folks.

That baby blue "kit" has the most nastiest welds / fabrication I've ever seen being offered to the public! :P

I thought more steering angle would be GREAT for parking.

And then I noticed my tires rub the inner fender now w/ stock steering angle...

So max tire width and added steering angle don't work together.

Once again true performance or drift- your choice!

I agree, the welds on that green/blue setup are horrible. I'm pretty sure the first welds I ever put down came out better than those! I'm assuming in order to take advantage of the increased steering angle you'd have to space the wheels out quite a bit...

 

Yea, those welds look like hardened puke. I can crap better welds.

What ways are there to have parts from such Japanese manufacturers imported here to the US?

 

i dont know if the angle kit that mazdatrix offers is the amazing spindle angle. they probably offer the inner tie rod ends, with maybe the bump steer eliminators.

there is a guy on this forum, or nopistons, that sells a kit from japan for 140ish and i LOVE them. i am pretty sure it is the guy from secretelement.

 

Try 400ish he sells almost exactly the same thing mazdatrix sells for twice the price, and yes the mazdatrix kit is steering spacers and a bumpsteer kit.

 

so just how does this kit allow you to adjust the bumpsteer?

 

it's not easy to weld on cast iron but then again i doubt they did the weld right, i would never trust that kit on my or anyone's car..

 

To someone who knows how to PROPERLY weld cast iron:

I'll pay you to do my spindle knuckles

 

do those tie rods really make a difference? any of them seem quality?
