Has anyone used these? They are considerably cheaper then most other modded knuckles out there. Just wondering if someone has used and abused them and can vouch for Driftspeede's knuckles. Idealy I'd buy JTP knuckles but these are $100 cheaper and I'm on the "broke drifter status" train. So money is a big issue. They don't look as pretty as JTP's or others that I've seen but if they work and last, I don't give a crap opinions please.

I will let you know on the 17th.

 

Before (just tie rod shimmed):


After (DriftSpeed knuckles with 1 inch spacer. I am hitting everywhere, need 2 inch spacer for full angle.):

After :

 

Oh my Ballin amounts of angle

 

+1

 

prooooobably gonna need to get these

 

I have never personally used Driftspeeds knuckles, but I know a few people that have them. They are really nice, and for the money you really cant beat it.

Id go ahead and get them.

 

do you know these people pretty well? have they been using them for a long time?

 

I think Matt Powers is running them on is FD s14. Don't quote on this...I'm not 100% sure.

 

I don't. But I can tell you I know the guys at driftspeed pretty well, and the knucks are great. If they made them for the FD (and IF I wasnt in love with my current knuckles) Id rock them for sure.

All of there formula d cars have rocked them, including Quoc Le's XDC car. For the money, They are really nice knuckles, IMO they are better then PBM knuckles.

 

I have JTP knuckles. but if I didn't . . .they'd be driftspeed ones.

 

MTP is on PBM **** unless he redid his steering setup since last year.

 

Matt is now on driftworks geomaster 2 knuckles for 2011.

 

how much angle did these put you at?

 

I know its on a s14, but some good info here for everyone on the driftspeed knuckles.

I've got some spare knuckles if anyone wants to buy them

 

dibs if they're modded

 

umm...I know matt's on s14..but I was wondering FC's. Front knuckles put you at 55 degrees?

do they make rear knuckles that make the pickup points lower like on the 14?

 

rear knuckles?

like for monster trucks?

 

im running PSM knuckles with rack spacers. 215/45/17 -5 on 9inch rim rubs the lower control arm at full lock. id say a 5mm or 7mm spacer and it would be ****!

I run a 17x9 +30 with 30mm of spacer so my
wheels are 0 offset. I don't have rack spacers
and I hardly rub at all. I advise try taking out
one spacer and see if the rub is just as bad, if
it's even still there. my HotLine knuckles are
more than enough just by themselves, the only
other steering components I have are supernow
tierod ends.

Knuckles and tierod ends get you this:



I still have probably another quarter turn
more than in that photo.

 

I just did a good hour drifting dry and wet on my set. LOVE it. Still don't have my 50 mm spacer in, but even with hitting the LCA and not getting full angle, it is so much. I need to figure out how to use them properly as for right now I was just driving like I didn't have them and used them as a backup if I was about to spin out. Saved me, but slowed me down quiet a bit. 50 mm spacer should be here soon.

 

Cool stuff.

 

sold the B16 head, it's modded knuckle time!
