Good stuff man!

If you're able to predict the movement of the lead car and time it right, you can transition at the same time or slightly before they do and it will really help you get much closer. Takes some practice, but it's so much fun when you can start getting really close to other cars.

Just gotta be careful and take it one step at a time. Don't want to monster jam and pull one of these lol

@Ryaquinn

Grats buddy! Been enjoying following you on your road to Pro 1

How are you guys making 18x9.5 fit up front without going widebody? 215/35r18? Dont have a pbm kit yet but will in the future and want to make sure I don't run into any problems.

Was anyone else out at Gridlife road Atlanta? It was insane!!

Won't work. I ran 18x9.5s with Todoroki 30mm front fenders and rubbed with just tie rods. If you're trying to do the PBM kit, you'll need Rocket bunny fenders and will still have to have an inch or more of poke to have any chance of clearing at lock.

You have to go with a smaller width, or step down to 17s.

Does these drift knuckles provide enough angle?

My car was the protype for his kit. I love it! I high recommend this kit. They have been going strong for 4/5?? years(I was in Japan when he was working on it).

Here is the post talking about them and some videos.

No worries. If it was just tie rods or knuckles by themself, you could probably swing it. PBM and Wisefab kits have a lot of angle though.

What wheels are you running?

I also tried like hell to make 18x9.5's work up front.

Its honestly just not worth it. Ended up selling my 3DSM's and bought some beat up Fifteen 52 tarmacs super cheap to go with for now in 17x8

Drift kunckles with 30MM spacer (effective 0 offset) and i dont have any rubbing issues anymore at full lock under load.

Stock still, found a deal on a set locally so I was thinking of getting them. Will probably just stay stock with spacers for a while or get some gramlights maybe.
