LoL, performance and this thread don't belong in the same place... There are prolly a hand full of cars in this entire thread that qualify as performance orientated and functional. I'm sure less than 10 percent of the cars on this thread have put any time in correcting suspension geometry after "slamming" their cars...

My car has 0 correction. Camer enough to fit, eyeball toe, drive. simple as that. Cars were designed to get you from point A to point B, if you can do it with the car looking coo then you win. Racingcars are just silly.

You probably don't know anything about performance and wheel fitment set ups either, right?

drift works, era-1, and pbm make drop knuckles. and a million people make adjustable multi-link.

not that suspension geometry really matter that much in grassroots drifting... but it's nice if you can do simple things that make your car drive better while keeping it looking good.

this car would be a better example of performance that looks good

Thanks man.. PBM did the work on the knuckles but at the time were only offering a 25mm LCA drop.. pair that with the 50mm tie rod drop and you get some lame bump steer.
So I picked up some s14 LCAs, 3/4" hi misalignment heims, and I got to work. I cant drop the LCA any more than 50mm.. as I'm limited by the brake rotor. The end result was awesome, great steering feedback, no bumpsteer at all, and front traction is amazing even with crappy 595ss.
