I'm looking into getting front and rear drop knuckles and sub frame risers, to try to fix geometry of the suspension on my s13. I am leaning more towards psm/pbm because I think they have the most drop. Please give input if one has better design then others. These are the only ones I kno of psm/pbm, GKTeck, and drift works. The car is low and it's staying that way, just trying to fix the roll center. What I'm concerned about is with the psm/pbm I Believe it move the steering rack witch I herd is hard on them. Or is it just what it is kind of thing thanks

Drift works stuff is good. Geomasters help a lot with binding and roll enter adjustments. And have a good drop to them. You will have to raise your coilovers when you install drop knuckles.

GKTech's has the most drop (coming out in Feb if I remember correctly) and are quite awesome.
imo

There is nothing on the market with as much roll center correction as Track Day Performance.

It is however, quite expensive. If you can't afford TDP, I'd recommend GKTech.

How much do those TDP front suspension kits run for? Their site fails to list it or have an "add to cart" option to see. I'm guessing its a email only? someone who knows please chim in !

Out of drift works or psm/ pbm do u think is superior. I Believe the drift works have the most drop out of the two. is one better than the other out of the two? Thanks

Driftworks fronts are true "drop knuckles" while PSM forged knuckles have roll center correction, but they don't actually move the hub up in the knuckle. I believe they both provide 45mm of correction. The Driftworks rears definitely have more correction at 55mm vs 25mm for PSM's, but whether or not that much correction is needed is debatable.

GKTech's rear knuckle is far superior to both, offering revised camber and bumpsteer curves, corrected anti-squat, and drop.
