do you have a picture of the front caliper fitment?
maybe it's the angle of the pics but the caliper mounting points
of the front knuckles look different to me compared to the oem

It looks to be that way as well. I'll take some better pictures when I get home.

Seems to me that the caliper location in relation to the shaft needs to be precise to ensure proper rotor coverage

does the hub shaft look new of did they cut off the one from an oem knuckle
and welded it on theirs?

They did weld the hub shaft on. I'm not sure if it's directly from an OEM knuckle. Is there a way I can tell? I'll stick them side to side and see if I can notice anything.

I don't think it matters much as long as it's there securely
it would make sense to use an existing shaft as oppose to machining them new
wonder how perpendicular to the knuckle it is?

is the balljoint taper correct?
it would have been cool if they could have made a larger hole and then
provide tapered inserts (like rear Z32 arms) that would allow you to use either s14 or s13 ball joint LCAs.

I was in a bit of a run to install them, but I'll take another look as I install the other side today. They went in without any issues.

Probably more to do with the powder coating than anything else

Did they move down the z32 e-brake bolting holes? (I presume)
That's a good idea
btw, if the bushing diameters are OEM size
you can press them out and install spherical bearings in them
the holes need to be precise though because, as we found out the hard way,
a few thousand off on the bushing diameter is all it takes between a press fit and a mangled bearing

I won't have a chance to install the rear knuckles yet and it might be a while till I do. According to Driftworks the z32 ebrake should be bolt on with the exeception that the left and the right are swapped. I'll know when I attempt to do the install.

Sounds, looking forward to it
