Your pictures do a lot better job of showing the construction quality of the knuckles
than the ones on their site
they do look very robust indeed
and it's also good to know that the weight difference isn't much

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

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

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.

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

looking forward to the shakedown review
