LOL, that will be helpful too, haha. It's going to be a few weeks, but once we clean out the old place and get fully moved in I'll be working on the car again. I'll hit you up Cory.
Thanks Kyle, just hit me up when you get off if you feel like helping, haha.

modded s14 RE_spec super angle knuckles with modded lower control arms to hopefully correct the suspension geometry of a lowered 240.
Everything on this picture is not fully bolted down and missing a few bushings and spacers for the GM ball joint. We will get the car on the ground this weekend.....
We still need to mod the tierod pick up. We plan to use another spherical bearing with a bolt to lower the tierod parallel to the lower control arm.
BBS SHOTS. Nothing has been bolted down yet. I took these pics to see what other mods need to be done to pull this off. These are picks at full lock. Well not really beacause these wheel are gianourmous. I still had about another 3/4's on the tie rod to steering rack travel.

i recently started to follow this and i am new to the 240/auto mechanics world so i dont know much. for those reasons, go easy on me.
my question is, what kind of mods were done to the angle knuckles?
will your s14 be able to have grater turning radius than this one?

Oh, those got all sorts of hacked up, haha. I did a spherical bearing replacement for the ball joints so I can adjust the roll center. The fronts have also been clearanced to allow for more angle. There's also a metal bump stop welded on to stop the knuckle itself, so the tie rod shouldn't hit anything at all.
I should be there.
