Nah it's right on point. He's poor because he's building his dream S13... Especially with those fancy arms.

holy shit!!!
that setup pretty much allows you to make a u turn in the same lane that is insane keep it up!! |
That is stupid angle... I really dig the RC correction!
|
Sweet lock! :p
What is the distance between center of the outer spherical bearing and center of the bearing shaft? Just to clarify the specs on their site |
Thanks guys, I'm stoked on driving this thing soon.
From what I can measure, there is 70mm of correction in the hubs. I'm not sure where the 90-100mm comes from. There are so many adjustments on this kit it's crazy. I've pulled the camber plates almost all the way back to try and keep the strut in the PCD. This caused a lot of camber. I reduced it as much as I could at the knuckle, but these Kei-office coils are so long they hit the knuckle at the bottom. In this position, the tie rods are just a bit too long to let you run the control arms at their shortest setting. I have them at 16.5in bolt to ball joint center, but I think that's too far, as it has some toe out now for sure. I think I'll probably trim the sleeve on the tie rod a bit so I can run the LCA's shorter. There is more angle to be had for sure, the toe out needs to be fixed and there is still some ackerman in the steering. If I zero everything out I should get a few more degrees. |
oh my god! thats crazy. i want to see it in action!
|
sweet stuff dude. i'm working on a VQ s14... still. running into wiring problems. post up when you get into that stuff and get it started up.
|
That amount of angle with your little baby wheels is unbelievable. Makes me want even smaller wheels in front.

The front fenders will go up and out quite a bit from where they are now, so I think I'll have outer clearance for either. We shall see! |

so dope man!
Pics on here do no justice, to seeing your own car with that much angle i bet!...lol Cant wait to see it all ironed out and driving |
Just found the suspension brand, do you mind me asking how much the front set up like that ran you?
Mighty fine build thread you have here sir, props! |

A lot I know, but nothing touches this as far as angle, roll center correction, and adjust-ability go. I could convert this to a purely road course set up in a day just by messing with the adjustments and drilling a hole for a sway bar. Hopefully I can get some work done on this weekend, I'm so close to having this running and driving! Cashflow is definitely limiting me at the moment. |
wow that's ridiculous angle. Let us know how it handles , etc. Curious.
|
Alright you got me hooked. This is pretty sweet. Some in bay pictures at full lock would be nice, to see if tubs are required. what size wheels do you have on there now?

I'll stick my 18x8.75+20's on this weekend (no tires unfortunately) and see how they fit as well. |
So I got the toe a lot closer and test fitted the XXR's. they do limit my travel by about a quarter of an inch.

Totally worth the cash spent with the quality and r&d that went into those parts
Nice build man |
How did you set up the strut bracket?

I finally got all four wheels on. My budget SUCKS for the next few weeks, so progress is going to be slow for a bit here :(

Apparently -8* (reduced from above pic) is the least camber I can run at the moment, and my shock axis isn't quite inside the PCD of the strut tower. If I had shorter coilovers I could run less, but at the expense of more positive camber at lock. Hmmm, not sure if I'm going to say screw it and move the axis outside the PCD, or leave it like it is and wait till I get shorter coilovers....
