Keep in mind your suspension is just hanging right now, on the ground at full lock it will be less than that, mine looks liek A LOT more in the air than it does on the ground

I really wish i could find the pic I took with my megan inners at full lock on the ground. grrr

@TylerLieberman what tie rods would you recommend from your experience?

Dang drifters is another option for knuckles. Apparently gets a little more angle than the pbm mod. His are $220 and you don't need tie rods are ends.

I highly doubt you can get more angle than with the PBM if you don't change tie rods at all...

I would NEVER buy these from Russ. He lists them on his site and posts them on forums acting like you just bolt them right on your stock FR-S and go ham. Never mind the fact that there is no real testing or evidence of any of the claims he makes about them other than "One of my customers replaced his PBM knuckles with these and said he gets a lot more angle"

I'm pretty sure he just copied the PBM knuckles and modified the cut a bit. (they may just be an exact copy) Theres only so many ways you can cut and re-weld and knuckle and there are two different reputable companies that have actually tested their product and have people using them.

I would never in a million years recommend buying those knuckles
