Got my Driftwork knuckles in today. I was very pleased with the customer support. They delayed my shipment until this week. After I followed up with an email asking for status, they apologized for the delay and sent the knuckles from England to my home with 2 day shipping! WOW!

As for build quality these things were meant to last. The parts look and feel like top quality. The parts come powder coated orange (this caused a very, very minor problem as I fitted bolts through the holes. No biggie.) Install was seamless. I didn't have to rig anything to fit. These guys did their homework!

As for roll center, duh, you can see how these compare to stock and the GP sports. Notice the shock mounting location between the Driftwork vs the GP Sports. The GP sports knuckle being higher, caused me to lower my shock collar to the furthest lowest position. This might've caused sudden understeering issues as the shocks might have bottomed out.

In contrast to the Driftworks knuckle, I needed to fully heighten my shock perch because my car was riding SO LOW (this will most likely not be an issue with a shock with an adjustable perch). It concerns me a bit because I'm afraid of the lack of droop travel. Only track time will tell.

As for performance reviews, I'll have to install the rear knuckles to leave a fair review. As for now I'll let the pictures do the talking. Enjoy!

Stock weight

Lined up by the LCA mounting point.

GP Sports vs Driftworks (notice the shock mounting point)

Steering arm length...

Rear Knuckles. NOtice the hub mounting holes location in relation to each other.
