What are people using to get more steering lock from there FD3s ? inner and outer tie rods with spacers ? knuckle mods on the hub ?

Ive 18x9 et25 for the road and 17x9 et25 for the track for the front and want to know whats the best way to get the most/best steering mods for my car

I have done both. i have modded my steering knuckles and also have JIC inner and outer tirods with spacer.

this seems to be a happy combo. i have 17x9 with a 22 offset and i have to run 5mm spacers to keep from rubbing on frame.

i have shortened the knuckles by 20mm and have actually raced this car road racing and time attack. other than the steering being a bit stiffer it handles VERY well.

i have not noticed any pump steer.
