ok so what are you guys doing to clear your control arms with modded knuckles some pics would be awesome thanks in advance

 

there's a small company that just started in oregon that makes a 1 1/12" extension for use with their knuckles for $75...




BUT, tweak games (and i) is planning on making an 80mm longer piece for use with his drift speed knuckles

 

Running really wide fenders and using neg offset wheels helps too as it moves the wheel away from the lca

 

i have to run a -35 on a 17x10 wheel its redic

 

Anyone have photos of some modded flca's?

Some grinding will need to be done too. Found that out with mine.

 

extending the lca isn't really the way you want to address the issue of clearance. (trust me on this.. i've tried all sorts of different lengths and nothing worked as good as what i have listed below...) hence why my ver. 2 knuckles/control arms never were released..

changing the geometry at this point is affecting the kingpin inclination angle and will make for a slower return and sketchy feeling on the front end..

this option does work but only to a point.. i've found that there's a sweet spot at around 9.5" wheel width with about a -15 to -20 offset.

however this does not address the issue of people looking for more than 55 degree's of angle... which IMHO isn't specifically needed but it seems there's many people these days that are looking for INSANE angle...

the proper way to address it is to stay around the width/offset i've suggested be it a 9"wheel with -20to25 etc.. but you can modify the lower control arm by either making a custom tubular arm or cutting and moving the section of the stock control arm inboard more with proper bracing... keep in mind you'll need to be a good welder considering this is your steering/front end you're messing with..

 

i think your referring to Abercrombie Motorsports Knuckles.

i just bought these. i havent received them yet though. they say you can achieve 72 degrees of angle (way too much)... but i found out he was using 15x8 wheels to get this. ill be running 17x9.5 or 17x10's up front so my angle will obviously be less.

 

if you ran 17x10 -50 you could get just as much angle.

I have 18x9.5-10 and have ~63 ish degrees when I hit the frame or the control arm.

 

Stance is more important than steering angle.

 

I run a 1.5" extended lower ball joint with a 17x8 -25 and just barely rub with suspension fully unsprung. When its on the ground it clears but just barely. I have Drift speed knuckles, MazdaTrix angle kit and some serious camber but I think the angle i have is PLENTY, around 55 i assume. If you need more your doing it wrong IMO.

 

I agree with Left Coast. Stance and Steering Angle are kind of like a Ven Diagram. theres a portion where some of both is good, but too much of tone takes away from the other.

 

what everyones opinion on the powered by max lca?

 

I want them. but they arent availible yet.
