stock fc angle?

How many degrees of angle does a stock fc have? im trying to decide wether to get super now cutting tie rod ends which have 45 degrees left or right or regular super now tie rod ends. Does anybody use these? if anybody does do you like them? any help would be great!

i like my supernow tie rod spacers/endlinks. i'd recommend getting spindles with the tie rods.
cheapest place for them:

theyre both the same. supernow is super now. they just sell the ends separately if you bend them. supernow endlinks ONLY work with inner tierod spacers. you need the whole setup if you dont have it (inner tierod spacers, and endlinks)

yes, cutting tierod kit.

you can only have as much angle as youre wheel offset and width will allow before hitting...

take the tie rod off the spindle and turn your wheel to full lock, maybe 5mm before it hits the lower controll arm.

line the tierod up back and you will see how much of the spindle needs to be cut and re welded...

im just looking to replace my tie rod ends for now, i dont want to cut my spindles until i get lower offset wheels. i currently run a 18x9.5 +35 so i dont think it would allow much more angle.

get ksport S13 tie rod ends... they are like $80 for both. Heim tie rods feel sick!!!!


you cant get any extra angle with just ends... you need inner rods to increase the travel of the rack

slidestyle, i'll link you to what i was talking about because obviously it didnt make sense if this is still an issue.
you cant replace just the endlinks.... you need the complete angle kit which includes inner tierod spacers, and the endlinks. called supernow cutting tierod kit.

YOU DO NOT WANT JUST THIS: (WITH ONLY THESE YOU CANT DRIVE STRAIGHT)

THIS IS WHAT YOU NEED TO BUY, TO HAVE YOUR CAR MOVE, AND DRIVE STRAIGHT:

hopefully that helps.

without those inner spacers you physicall dont have enough room to adjust your alignment straight, and your car seriously will not even move the alignment will be so far off...
$250, done deal, you'll be almost backwards.
JTP Version-2 spindles, and you will be backwards. uturns will be on full bore.
