that is very similar to the wheel fitment i usually run so if it works for me then it will work for you. Whats your tire size?
Feeler: steering angle kit for mk3
- Thread starter aurastephen
- Start date
Like ive said before the most expensive part will be the soarer/sc300/sc400 components, id recommend checking online and auto wreckers for the lower control arms, knuckles, brakes and you need the brake lines, or if you wanna be a big baller get the mk4 4 piston calipers they are also direct bolt on.
So, does this plan do irreversible things to suspension geometry? Meaning, would the car be of any use outside of a track, or are you pretty much converting your car to a toy? These are things that people might want to know. 
I'll be up front, I really have no need for this, as I've always been a fan of tire life (and with the prices of 315's on 4 wheels, wouldn't you be too?!) and grip, but still enjoy seeing people do new things to old cars...

The geometry will not be drastically out of spec depending on how you set it up when you get the kit. Seeing as this is too improve steering angle I would assume most people would be interested in this to make there mk3 a more capable drift machine soo wearing out tires isnt what im most concerned about as I will be running some pretty mad negative camber, but this can be adjusted to the drivers liking. Im hoping to have some test pieces soon, my fabricator is swamped in work right now soo this has been a slow process thus far.
what exactly do you gain by having more angle? i know that drifting the mk3 is no easy feat but thats the fun in it
Because mores steering angle=equals better car angle= rad entries and smoke for days= panties drippin.
Or because

what are our options for the upper control arm? and how are you modifying the knuckles?
i did a quick check for prices off pick and pull and for 4 control arms and 2 spindles with tax will run you about $185 depending on how much your custom parts cost this seems to me like it could be a reasonably priced kit.

so will this give you a tighter turning radius also? how much more angle do 240's have stock over our stock angle?
As far as upper control arms go you can run stock mk3 uppers but i recomend getting the beech adjustable uppers from driftmotion those are the ones i will be running. 240's stock vs mk3 stock not even close to the same mk3 steering angle is horrible its a joke but this kit will give you much more even then stock 240 angle. If you can find all of the parts used for cheap then your set that is what I did but if you were to buy the lower control arms even on ebay they are extremely pricey. Also everything mattsplat said is the truth!
Finally have some prices from my fabricator. For the modification to your soarer/sc400/sc300 knuckle and the custom bracket to relocate your coilover on the lca were looking at around 350 - 400 CAD

This will be for 2 brackets and the modification to your soarer/sc300/sc400 knuckles. So for both sides.
I'll have pics soon enough just waiting on final touches at this moment.Bulkierzero;1917832 said:
