who'll be doing the welding, just buy the same as what davey's rocking/ i'm rocking, i hit a gutter at about 40 k's and bent the arm but the weld didn't budge so they're seriously strong, hit me up if you want contact details, ackermans is fiddled with but my steering feels so freaking sweet, wouldn't have it any other way now

bit of reading for you...

the lock itself generally isnt alot more than ps knuckles with lock spacer...but the actual difference it makes to how the car drives is certainly apparent

mate is a fitter and turner, makes custom s13 lock knuckles, so he want to trial these on my car, it free so im happy

also i found a thread on custom knuckles so all is good, will keep looking

[trikzlane]

thats the thread i found already, thanks anyway

read the whole thread but there doesnt seem to be any length, just different opinons

first off, what steering arms are you modifying, PS or standard?

if standard, take out about 10-12mm at first. measure the offset of the hole to the centre of the arm at its widest point. try to keep a similar measurement ackermans wise. the best thing to do is just experiment

why not just use the power steering arms and run a lock spacer? or mod the tie rod ends?
