Oh yeah now I remember. The brake mount ears are offset inwards, which will make using a Brembo caliper easier, which is why I chose them initially.
Hello Guest, welcome to the initial stages of our new platform!
You can find some additional information about where we are in the process of migrating the board and setting up our new software here
Thank you for being a part of our community!
When do they get available for 700/900?
So is the next stage to incorporate this into a complete spindle that bolts up so a standard coilover from like a 240sx?
A guy can dream right?
Hehehe...
CAD model and design is done, need to get prototypes made for testing and then production. hopefully have the preorder open in the next month or so.
That's so last year.
I drove mine with the tie rods on the quickest hole and it was too quick for normal driving. I think it would only be good for drifting. It was so easy to turn in too far/too fast and lose grip from the front. If the front maintained grip, the car might oversteer easily. It was fun, though.
The middle setting is just right. With 8" ET4 front wheels and 245/45/16, it's a little twitchy with around zero toe and a lot of negative camber. But it's plenty quick, not too heavy with power, and stable enough at high speed.
Yeah... We thought were living in a perfect world I guess. Now, the "problem" becomes, how do we measure it reasonably?If you want to play with the ackermann settings ( the **** that everyone thought was ridiculous to want to adjust you can slot the 4 holes in a radial pattern. You would also have to clearance the flange on the wheel side.
Notes from my experience:
-Paint your stuff if you don't want it to rust.
-Modify your spacers as little as possible to prevent ackerman from going out of wack.
-The roll correction is immediately noticeable, makes the car much more stable and keeps the rear end much more planted. I love it.
-The quicker steering is great(running the middle setting), even for daily driving. You almost don't notice it until you wrench on the wheel or are parking.
-When the ackerman is messed up, as mine is, it sucks. Parking is like putting the brakes on because the wheels are pointing slightly different directions and you can't push the car easily(if at all) when the wheels are turned because of it. Utilizing the stock steering setting will reduce this. Not having to modify your spacers will also probably reduce this.
I love them, but will be going back to stock quickness to reduce the amount the ackerman is off. I want to paint them as well, because the plating didn't do much.
