Angle Knuckle Question? - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

Would it be a bad idea to have modified angle knuckles on a basically stock KA24DE. Should your car have more power before getting knuckles or would it be fine to use on a low power car with plans to upgrade later? I'm planning on redoing all of my suspension before I start working on the engine with mostly PBM/SPL parts and was wondering if I should do the knuckle mods or wait until I have more power. I plan on getting 350 - 400 hp at least.

Huh? Knuckles have nothing to do with how much HP you have. They steer the car. So you'll be able to get more angle but since you don't have a lot of power you might not be able to hold it easily. Get the knuckles, don't even understand your thinking on this question.

It's not bad to have knuckles with a KA but if you're still learning on how to drift, don't bother in buying them. Use that money for seat time and once you feel comfortable with getting more angle in your car, then invest in knuckles. Also, you can also buy the tie rod spacers to give you more angle as well.
