I can max out my steering rack and just barely rub with -10 offset and only Abercrombie knuckles. I've had no bump steer issues at full lock. These are a great buy.

^^^his new knuckle setup looks insane and I will be getting some of that ASAP.

Holy ******* angle!

I'm with Buck, let's see this at ride height. I may just have to save up for a set of these.

Are those Haruguchi things worth the extra money?

well the kit is all finished and ready to purchase. its putting down 72° lead wheel and 68° trailing wheel. thats a 4° ackermann spread. the only thing that is not finished are the wrack spacers. so to use the kit to its full potential you will need MazdaTrix wrack spacers. here is what it all looks like.

setting the car on the ground doesn't change the amount of angle... but here you go. this is the car we did the testing on siting on the ground at lock.

Only thing that I'm really concerned about is how ride height affects it. The car in the picture has a good four or five inches of wheel gap, and I'm tucking an inch of tire. It looks to me like I'll have to run a **** ton of camber to maintain my height/tuck, but how much? With 72* at full lock, seems like I'll roughly need -8* of camber or so.

Thats a crap wheel thats mounted in the picture. I personally would want alot more of a contact patch. But i think you can adjust it to personal preference...i hope lol

you cant see camber in this pic. the wheel is at full lock so you are seeing caster angle. the camber on this car is at -4°. this wheel is only a 15x8x0 thats why there is so much wheel gap. and there rear wheels are 17 with a 225/45 so the front had to be raised to make the car level. its got the smaller wheel in front just to allow for clearance for all that angle do the the stock LCA's being so restrictive. in the future i will be coming out with fully adjustable LCA's that will make it possible to run 17" at full lock. but the ball joints have adjustable bump stops so you you do run a larger wheel you can adjust the bump stops to prevent rubbing.

I'm wondering how wide does your wheel have to be to get that angle...

this car is still running the stock LCA's. i will be making fully adjustable tubular LCA's in the future to allow for a 17" wheel to still clear at this angle. this car is running a 15x8x0. even though it is such a small wheel and tire combo it grips amazingly well do to the wider track and good caster and camber.
