I've heard the best about the FDF Mantis kits, I know a couple guys with them (86/350Z) and they rave about how great they are. Super solid kits, fairly simple to install, good adjustment, etc.

I'd say WiseFab is a close second, I can't say much for PBM but I myself am planning on running the FDF kit coming up

If you've got PBM version 1 knuckles and want to sell, get at me ASAP

If I'm having issues with clearance with the side walls after installing longer tie rods should I grind off the sections its hitting or install spacers / smaller wheels?

You might want to share a picture as well as your tire size and wheel specs (diameter, width and offset)

I'm not at home and I'm really stupid so I don't have all that info. I'm running 17'' standard wheels and -2* camber in the front. I have the Megan inner tie rods and P2m outer tie rods.

Falkon240 · 10-28-2022, 02:31 PM

Going off what you're saying, if you're running adjustable outer tie rods and the tie rod is hitting your inner wheel barrel, you could push the wheel out with a spacer.

Take some pics and share the specs when you have a chance.

After putting on spacers and maxing out the camber the only place its rubbing now is this small portion of the frame just on one side (probably due to frame damage). I assume I just take an angle grinder to this, shave it up a bit and I'm done right?

I'd prob take a hammer to that.

That did the trick, I think I'll switch to 16 inch wheels once I finish off these tires so I don't have to run a ton of camber all the time and keep the additional steering angle thanks for the help

You can also run smaller tires. 235/40/17 or 215/40/17

How much is "a ton" of camber? You'll want somewhere around -4* ideally for drift.

Im at -3.5. Is there any reason not to run 16 inch tires? I feel like I could take off the camber when I felt like it and not rub if they were that small.

16" wheels will limit your brake caliper size, but should be fine for non-PP brakes. In addition, 16" tires will most likely have a larger sidewall, which can decrease overall performance/feel, compared to a smaller sidewall on a 17". Other than that, it's just a question of style preferences.

-3.5* front camber is pretty good for drifting. I'd say you should have more negative camber.

Happy to see you here. Perhaps we can wake up the sleepy drift community on this board.
