Drop Knuckles instead of lowering Springs or Coilovers
Hey everyone!
While replacing my rear lower control arms I decided to get some drop knuckles a go. These would bacially drop the car 1.75" while maintaining the factory stuts life and ride feel. The geometry does change (similar to coilovers) but the benefits are much better. Before: After: Fronts to come!!! |

Do these work on stock suspension? And can you get them so that the drop is only 1 inch?

Guys, he made that. It's an OEM LCA that he welded bits onto in order to lower the strut mounting point. It's the same theory behind the Stance LCA and other lowering LCAs.
I'm very interested to see what you do with the front. I've seen some top hats that are elevated to lower the car, that might work. |

gramicci101 - Thank you. I didn't say this and should have.
Simon99 - They are a correction kit to improve the cars geometry when you lower your car. congiiee - Definately! These were a test only with the old and ugly LCA's. |

These are not drop knuckles, this is a hacked up lower control arm.
The front whiteline kit will not lower anything. There is so much fail in this thread its ridiculous. |
