Ive searched on this forum, and saw a few months ago that JTP/Hotline was looking to get their spindle mods R&D completed for FD (the FC ones are dope). Looked into a set of PBM, and their charging a decent price, but i will always pay for quality. Any news on these happpenings of these coming into production?

 

anything on this? im actually trying to make a descision in the near future, and this is one i do NOT want to regret....

 

I ran dangdrifters.com knuckles on my FD. They worked well

 

i think justin's FD knuckles are either ready for sale, or will be soon. he posted a pic on facebook a few days ago of them

 

I have PBM and they work great or u could Hit up Justin ^

 

yeah.. we got those!

 

U got a price on them knuckles yet justin?

 

$350 with core, or $450 without

 

those spindles are ****ing beautiful. what is the steering angle measurement after the mod?

 

how much for fc modded and witch is better s4 or s5...in respects to the ball joint

 

do you need the roll center adjusted like they recommend with the S-Chassis?

 

Justin. picking up a spare set of stocks tomorrow id like to drop them off up at hotline if your still making them. let me know

and any final measurement from them?

 

fc knuckles are 350 withcore 500 without

just got the falken car back in the shop so i'll try and remember to take measurements tomorrow

don't need any roll center adjuster like s-chassis

and yes, we're still making them... drop off a set and i'll get them modded up for you!

 

Just got my set of JTP knuckles in the mail yesterday, postin before and after angle pics next week!

 

awesome! thanks man, sorry about not posting up pics, just been super busy at the shop...

 

Update?!!

 

ive been slacking like a lazy bitch..... ive got the knuckles in the car, they should go on this week and ill take before and after angle pics. Plus im puttin poly bushings all around so that might slow down the process a bit

 

well get on it!!!!! lol do you have a smart phone? and a photobucket account? if so... you don't need a good camera!!!

 

ended up getting 52 deg of angle with rack spacer and outer tie rod kit.
can't remember what the final effective offset was, but it's obviously on a wide fender and spaced out. no rubbing at full lock either direction on a 18x9.5 with 235/40/18 615k

 

Thanks Justin. ^ you should put together a little kit with spacers and tie rods and call it the "hotline Supa Dupa Angle Kit." Either way i'll send you my knuckles with this next paycheck

 

kinda have plans to put some "kits" together this year... going to step away from doing mostly customer cars and focus on making products for Hot Line.

 

Rad, dunno if mick frial talked to you yet or anything but you should try to make it out to thunder on the lot. Mick's doing the whole event, should be a good time. Even if my cars not ready i'll be out there. You should come out to the good ol Av haha

 

i'm trying to get my fc done so i can do more stuff like that this year... just gotta knock out these customer cars so i can get back to my projects...

 

Yeah, come visit old buds.

 

I've Always wondered whats the difference performance wise between the hotline style above where the tie rod pickup is welded to the arm and the stepped design I see often like Rotary Works did on Jeff Jones FD (and I did on my FC).



No one has to give up their angle secrets. I'm just interested in the scientific theory behind doing one or the other.
