Re: More Steering Angle .... ??

That can't apply to all cars. My RS came with 15x7's and I put the 16x8 GTA crosslaces on and it doesn't rub at all, even being 4" lower than stock. Do you have part number proof of this? It would be great if I had a limited gear box cause then I could get a new box for more angle since I drift my car as well.

I think that's only for the early pre 85 cars, but I've heard the same info.

Re: More Steering Angle .... ??

back from the dead again. i just put a jeep grand cherokee box it mine, drilled out the stops on the a arms. drifted it at the KMS event in Charlette NC on saterday. way better. i will pull the box again to kill the internal stops, but i need to make longer A Arms first. i also spent a good 2 plus hours in advance auto checking every idler arm and pitman arm they had looking for something longer that would bolt up. no luck. did not have and jeep GC parts though so i will crawl under one in the parking lot and check that out later. i am not worried about the shock mount and negative camber either. i destroyed the outsides of my front tires on saterday because i didnt have enough neg camber (maxed) also spohn sells camber bolts with 3* a pare. run two pair, and strut mounts with extra camber adjustment, we should be good and then some. cut and welded spindles are normal in drifting, why are we more worried about idler and pitman arms? notching the frame should not be that big of a deal either. FD rules say the cage cannot go though the firewall, but you can run it to the firewall, put a plate on both sides and bolt the plates together making a firewall sandwich. run a little more tubing to reinforce the notched portions.
