Wheel spindle for more steering angle?
Hi!
Ive done alot of research to find out how i can get more steering angle on my FC.
The super now angle kit is one solution, but ive also heard something about a spindle from japan making the angle WAY bigger than with the super angle now kit.... Anyone know anything about what im talking about?

no one makes a new spindle, you just cut and weld a new one. not a hard procedure just find a GOOD welder in your local area and take it in one day, explain it and they will either say "well maby" (dont go there) , or "yea no problem" once you find a place the hard part is done. now to figure how much steer you want.
take the distance between the lower ball joint and the steering pickup point on a plane parallel to the ground
next measure the distance your steering arm travels
now on a piece of paper make your triangle
and spec out how far your steering pick up travels
for this you can use some string and some thumb tacks
Now decide how much you can turn your wheel in the fender.
go back to your paper and plot the new distance and overlay that on your previous measurement. and you now have the new distance for your ball joint to pickup point.
Now MAKE SURE YOUR CUTs are TRUE AND STRATE.
take it to your welder and install.
hope this helps

thats sounds pretty complicated to me, but will definetly work, i know mazdatrix is making a super angle kit now, im not sure if it goes any farther than the super now kit, but its worth a shot

I do beleive RETed tried this at one point and decided that the negative concequences of it outweighed any benefit, so went back to stock. Do a search, there's pictures of a modified spinle floating around.

Nurse I need 1300cc's NOW
Mazdatrix now has a steering angle kit. 190 plus shipping. I bought it and it does seriously give you way more angle. Very simular to the super now kit. I rub on something, not sure yet , i just installed the kit.

Thanks for the url Sideways7. I`ll order the steering angle kit and some other stuff from mazdatrix soon.
OT but, i got the Tein RA coilovers now. What other suspension parts should i buy to get my suspension fully adjustable? I aint got anything in the rear yet, but i wont buy anything before i know what i need. I want to be able to adjust "everything"..
