yes to much track change and you cant stand you coilovers up anymore. im at full track width with 3.75-4 degrees of camber

as far as the knuckle from scratch. it will be a full sheet metal fabricated part (not to be confused with plate style like the drift works ones)

i find that in the drifting world steering angle is much like suspension travel in the offroad world. its mostly a big pissing contest.

they mess up all the geometry trying to get more travel. give me half the travel and let me set the car geometry up and you get a faster car through the desert.

give me 45 degrees and set it up right through out the turning radius you have a much better drift car then the guy with 1000 degrees of angle.

that being said i plan on trying to match some to the competions angle in the High 50 degrees and improve on driveablity on the inbetween stuff.

if i cant i will remove a bit of angle to get better drivability.

I hope you can see my logic here. thats basicly how im going to go about it.

the ideas are still just on paper i havent started anything in CAD yet.
