How to get more angle

[Brian W.]

I respect going in a straight line more than turning motorsport into the equivalent of figure skating competition.

It's no different than freestyle motocross, BMX, or skateboarding. Whatever floats your boat though....

Thanks Brian for the info. Do you know how much angle they give you and how much they are?

glad i could help, sadly those questions would be better answered by MDP.

Unless you make them yourself they are the only option at this point. Knowing what i know about ASD/ MDP im sure they will work great!

I like drag racing also it's just I like a sport that actually takes a lot of skill to actually show the driver can actually drive his car yeah it takes skill to go in a straight like with a lot of power with manual trans but I don't really respect auto trans much I hate them. Eveyone thinks drifting is easy well thunk again try goin 60-70 mph transitioning a drift without looping out and tell me it's not hard

you're reasoning will solve nothing here. just go on supporting what you love to do, nevermind what anyone says in these forums.

clearly the title states, "if you hate drifting, post here."

I have rubbing issues with my v6 steering setup - 255s are a little too wide apparently and I believe they are rubbing on the control arms at full lock. Keep in mind I'm using stock 17x8 rims (+35ish offset I think?). I also had this issue with 18x9 rims from American Muscle (also +34)

yeah you will always have to be willing to space your wheels out to clear your chassis and control arms. While this isnt necessarily a good thing... at least we dont have tension rods to come in contact with like 240sxs ive dealt with in the past.

yeah i mean i plan on runnign a pretty wide offset probably like +25mm or lower i dont know how much a +15 will look on a mustang though.

 

[Cookiemonster]

what size wheel?

 

[s197 drifter]

Probably 17x9 up front +25 and 17x9.5 +25 I don't I haven't seen a stang with very low offset before the wheels I really want are 17x9.5 +15 all around they mb battle wheels cheap for drifting and light weight and won't break like rotas haha

i will be using the MDP steering knuckles...

they no longer have them listed in the store for some reason, but those guys have what you need.

its essentially a modified oem steering knuckle with a shortened tie rod pivot location. This is the same thing we have been doing to 240sxs and such for years now.

Hey guys,

They took the Spindles off the site because they are busy doing cars for the upcomming Formula D season.

There building cars for JR, JTP & DMAC.

The spindle service is like $250 roughly I think if you send in your spindles in.

or

$560 if you want them to get spindles and do it.


The service should become available in early April

9.5+25 will poke in the rear and be perfect up front with a little camber.

im running 19x9.5 +29 rear +24 front with 275/40 rear 255/40 front and its pretty sexy.
