Abercrombie Knuckles... Anyone Use Em?

http://www.driftexchange.com/topic75.htm

My buddy has these on his 240. I recently put the car into a curb and broke my hub/JTP knuckle. My buddy keeps telling me how great these are so I might try them out. Anyone have any experience with them?

Link didn't work for me, but I think I have heard of them before. If memory serves they are the ebay knuckles geared towards street driven cars, which means they give you more angle but don't reduce ackerman. I could be wrong. Anyone else heard anything??

Fixed link. I know they sell on ebay, but I don't think they're ebay quality per-say. Local guys here in NM swear by them, but idk.

Abercrombie is a friend of mine. Alot of people use his products here in Oregon. He makes them for 240s and rx7s. I think he does other apps upon request. He also extends ball joints/lower control arms. I personally don't have any of his products. But I've seen them in use. Pretty good stuff imo. Look him up on Facebook for more info. Abercrombie motorsports.

They look legit. The lower ball joints are doing most of the work there I think..

I like them a lot. I get a lot of angle, I'm satisfied. They seem to be high quality, amd I've had no issues in the 3 months I've had them.

^ aka ackerman goes crazymode at full lock.

im honestly not too impressed with these as far as angle, quality is not the issue, but you get what you pay for.

I dont have any angle issues .... I can turn the wheels until the tie-rod hits the LCA ... I don't see how I could get more angle exept by having the upcomming powered by Max LCAs . I have some rack spacers though .
