I think it goes unspoken that of course ride height and wheels size is going to limit and affect steering as it would with any other car or setup.

I think this kit is pretty cool. I've made something similar myself. I'll grab some pis and post them. I probably have less angle than this, but I also run a 17 with a 235 tire.

Not bad at all. You have my attention now.

Might be the best ~$300 I spend on my FC.

this kit without the wrack spacers is actually $400. hopefully i here back from the machinist this week and i can say how much the wrack spacers are going to add. but it shouldn't be to much more.

Still not bad. How much are JTP's knucks? PBM? Any other company that offers such stuff?

I'd say its' a worthwhile expense in the quest for almighty angle, which our cars need even stock.

I'm definitely interested to see what the whole package will run, I like the idea of a one-stop-shop for super angle.

why do you say that? these are nylon raced chrome moly heims rated at 16,000 lbs. and the ball socket on them are the same size spherically as the stock outer tie rods.
