As for fitment, they seemed to have fit without much problem, altho i didnt use a drum brake in the rear.
The brake caliper brackets looked like they werent aligned, but after test fitting everything, there doesnr seem to be weird braking issues YET. I havent really tested the car yet aside from driving it in teaffic back and forth from the alignment shop. We put the set on my drift car, but these were supposed to go on my all-out-dream spec 180sx street car. I think id rather go for a more modern set of knuckles with better quality for my 180sx build. Im just trying to figure out which brand caters more towards my goals.
-stock drum brake no problem
-maximum roll center correction
-steering geometry suited for aggressive drifting at the track, but also be able to put down great lap times
Compromised, but able to do anything fun i want to do.
The new GKtechs state that for s13 era rear subframes, their rear knuckle adds quite a bit more anti squat and it would be best to pair the knuckle with their s13 anti squat reduction kit (modify the rear subframe). The new DW collab with wisefab (Geomaster 3) doesnt state anything about anti squat tho. Id like to use a set that is perfect for the s13 rear end out of the box if possible.

Thanks for the info on the GEO 2s! It's definitely tough to design knuckles that are tailored for everyone, ha ha.
