this whole lock quest thing is stupid imo. Infact I'm gonna start reducing my lock now until it effects my driving or driving style.
Imo if you gonna get knuckles they should be of a conventional style like gktech, part shop max pro mod or forged and also the geomaster.
No need for anymore imo!!

There is much more to front suspension than those 3, there is kinematic camber, bumpsteer, body jacking, scrub radius, ackermann geometry, self steer forces etc. The problem with pro-ackermann is that it drags one of the wheels and when you are at the absolute limit, you will spin because the inside wheel is slowing the car down and forcing it to rotate around it.
This is why Wisefab and Trackday performance have whole front suspension kits, not everyone can make parts from different makes work together, some just want to drive. I mean look at the contact patch of their kits, you can use much narrower wheels and still have same front grip and dont need the front to understeer to save you from a spin, just steer it!
You also don't need much static camber.
Tires following the road = speed
Tire barely in contact with road and sliding (inner front) = loss of speed
But I see you are a loyal fan for Driftworks, so you try it your own way
