Long gone. Sold my car about 3 years ago. Plenty of other people have/currently are running them without issue though AFAIK

I'm sure this has been mentioned before, but what is everyone doing for front clearance? Im pretty low, and i rub at full lock on the inside of the fender/frame rail. I've got Megan inner tie rods, and 17x8 +35 wheels. Running 225/45 firestone Indy 500s. Im thinking smaller tires and spacers. Any recommendations on tires and spacers?

My total investment into steering angle stuff is about $350 right now, which blows any angle kit available out of the water.

Summary, if you drift your car and don't have $1000 for the PBM stuff, go to your local drift shop and have them cut and weld your knuckles.

Looking like I'll be running more or less the same setup for my event this weekend. What exactly are you finding is binding? When I go full lock right now it looks like my sway bar end links are gonna bind but everything else seems to look pretty solid. Wondering if you found anything out about this. I've heard of people not running front sway bar but also heard a lot of negatives about that.

I also running no sway bar in the front and in the rear.

in the front, because of my modified PBM Kit there is no room for mountig the sway bar

In the rear i think i helps to give more grip, because the BC Coilovers have not that much stroke to work well when the swaybar hangs on it...

Thinking about making a thread about swapping in the Lexus is300 differential (welded). Anyone interested. I only ask because it seems that people really don’t use this forum.

Would running that make much of a difference ?

For drifting a welded differential would hugely advantageous in comparison to the stock vlsd.

I'm interested, I've been considering it for a while now.
