The upright could potentially be used in many custom applications. What vehicle is it? We are also releasing a Skyline version later this year. Regards, Greg |

GK:
When are your Rear Uprights to be released? Matching Front Knuckles and Rear Uprights will be awesome. Waiting in line

Got my knuckles modded, dropped down to fix the roll center, 0 ackerman, and went with S14 LCA's w/bump stops removed and boxed in. The package is available from DR Motorsports in North Carolina.
and a vid testing. **Not on a Track or at a Sanctioned Event** |

That's a nice setup!
So lets talk about traction arms, how much do you usually lengthen them vs lengthening of camber arm and have any of you measured bumpsteer before and after? Some stuff from NRR by Full race Geoff: Quote:

^ look back thru this thread. there are a few years of Infiniti I30s ('94 thru '98 maybe?) with tie rods identical to the s14 PLUS another 35mm iirc. buy those and cut them down to length if needed.
...which (now that i think about it) should also cross-reference with a Nissan Maxima since they shared the same chassis.

They're in development now and should be finished within the coming weeks. The fronts will getting fitted up late this week and we have 3 different steering arm designs already finished with more on the way.

We are trying to incorporate a modular mount however we know if this is going to be achievable until we've done a bit more FEA work.

If you are I would like yo throw out that the stock Z32 angle of the Shock mount holds a weird angle when put on S14's. 13's its OK it when installed on 14's that the angle is weird. At least from what I've seen.

We've done some initial toe curve comparisons to see where we want/need the adjustment. See attached file. EDIT: attached file doesn't seem to work? See it here: http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fb...levant_count=1 |

Z32 rear fork and enough room for Q45 axles would be so nice, then I wouldn't have to mod them for my Q45. lol

GKTECH would the adjustable bracket for the tie rod, for the 599 would u get just one, per side? since u mentioned some brakets will be longer, some would be used for drift and other for road racing, or how much would it be per each additional bracket?

$599 will include 1 set of steering arms and we're expecting replacement steering arms to be around the $99/pair mark. At this stage we've modeled the standard position, DW and an intermediate which is right in the middle of the 2 in length and ackerman. We'll also release more in the future and given the modular nature of the knuckles, it certainly won't be hard for people to make their own.

Thanks for the answer on the tie rod question guys, or any question I have asked on here for that matter, anyways, Mods, could we possibly start requiring more of new members, the post above GK Tech's last post is the second spam I have seen on this thread alone
