They are from the Company called Drift Knunckles. Its just a modified stock knuckle with extended inner tie rods.

Not quite as much angle as something like PBM but close. I'll post pictures once they are installed.

you still running a swaybar with that setup? I really want to relocate the stock mount before doing any angle mods.

Interesting, I was gonna go PBM but those drift knuckle dudes look like its really the best bang for the buck right now to me. Def please post pics and do you know where they are located?

Are you refering to with the Knuckles? They are not installed yet, I'm still awaiting them from Drift Knuckles (Just sent my cores in at the end of last week)

But yes I plan to still run my swaybar

From what I can tell and what others have told me, while you deff get some more angle with PBM, its not drastic. I can't say for certain as I haven't measured them both but drift knuckles claims up to 60* of angle so we will see.

I'm not even sure how much PBM really gets but ive looked at a few pictures now of the knuckles vs PBM at full lock and I don't think its THAT drastic of a difference. Pictures can be deceiving however.

Theyre also located in LA.

Stumbled accross your vids last night on youtube. That thing sounds amazing. How you like the feddys? One of my all time favorites for the rear. I ran 595 on my 400hp sr20 silvia s14, no chunking, good grip, and lasted almost 2 days! Granted it was mostly 2nd gear stuff, but still...

Anyway sick vids and that car is incredible.
Also how the frig is that thing not wide body?! Fitting rubber for that kind of power under oem steel quarters is another level of respect.

In case anyone is wondering, the Megan inner tie rods are 100% worth the money. Extra 1/8th of a turn of steering lock makes the car a lot easier to drive. However, if you're running super wide wheels/tires you're probably going to rub. I'm also extremely interested to see the results of the driftknuckles setup.

To each his own, I find them to be pretty useless. The 80 bucks they cost is better spent saving up for an angle kit.

for those who are still on 17's. Whats the widest you dudes are running up front with angle kit?

What is the issue you're having with them? I thought they were great for the money and definitely recommend them

No issue.. i just don't think it's worth spending the money on something that gives a negligable increase in steering angle.

I just installed mine yesterday, its nowhere the angle id want to have, but for basically stock power it felt pretty good when hooning around an open lot. I don't remember if you mention it or not but did you remove the front sway bar when using these, or did you just let it bind up?
